When disaster strikes, having a plan in place can help protect your family and your property.

National Preparedness Month

Each year, September is recognized as National Preparedness Month.  This month is geared towards encouraging family and community disaster planning not just for the month, but throughout the entire year.  The theme for 2020 National Preparedness Month is “Disasters Don’t Wait.  Make Your Plan Today.”  Each week, a different subtopic will be emphasized. 

• Week 1: Make a Plan - Talk to your friends and family about how you will communicate before, during, and after a disaster.
• Week 2: Build a Kit – Gather supplies that will last you a few days after a disaster for everyone in your home.
• Week 3: Prepare for Disasters – Know the risks of disasters for your area and check your insurance coverage.
• Week 4: Teach Youth about Preparedness – Talk to your kids about preparing for emergencies and what to do if you are separated.

The goal of National Preparedness Month is to make sure everyone has the tools and resources they need to be prepared for a natural disaster.  At SERVPRO of Mobile County, we pride ourselves on always being ready for emergencies and we want to make sure that you are prepared too.  Having a plan in place can minimize damages associated with storms and keep you and your family safe.
