Emergency Preparedness at Home – Do 1 Thing – Be Informed (September)

Do 1 ThingGetting correct information during an emergency is the key to taking safe action. Someone in your household may not be able to receive, understand, or act on emergency information. Think about what special needs your household may have. Take action now to make sure everyone in your family will be safe in an emergency.

THE GOAL: Make sure everyone in your household can receive, understand, and act on information received in an emergency.

Choose one (or all) of these things to do this month:

  • Make sure everyone in your family knows what to do when they hear emergency warnings.
  • Get a NOAA Emergency Alert Radio.
  • Make sure everyone in your household can communicate in a disaster.

Each month on this blog, OEM will post Do 1 Thing’s monthly topic and we encourage you to follow the program at http://do1thing.com.
