Now just over a month away, National Preparedness Month (NPM) 2011 will observed throughout the month of September. In June Ready.gov, FEMA, and the Citizen Corps began their awareness campaign and they continue to look for new coalition members.
This year – being the 10th anniversary of 9/11 – we are being asked to remember past disasters as well as prepare those that may come in the future.
As you might expect, Avian Flu Diary has already signed up. And you can too.

September is National Preparedness Month (NPM)! This awareness month is sponsored by the Ready Campaign in partnership with Citizen Corps. NPM is held each September and is designed to encourage Americans to take simple steps to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses, and communities.
Over the past 30 days FEMA has declared no fewer than 12 Major disasters within the United States. And in June, they classified 10 events as major disasters.
While these major events affected thousands of Americans, every day thousands more are affected by smaller, more localized emergencies.
Household accidents, car wrecks, heart attacks, fires, floods, storm damage . . .
While we can’t prevent most emergencies and disasters . . . we can be better prepared to deal with them.
As Ready.gov urges.
By joining the National Preparedness Month coalition, and holding events to promote awareness, you will be helping to spread this vital message.
And that’s a win-win situation.
For you, your family, and your community.
