SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH!
How are YOU going to PREPARE?
Every September, American CPR Training® encourages all of our responsible & conscientious clients to help us support and promote National Preparedness Month. As always, we emphasize the importance of a Family & Youth Emergency Communication Plans.
National Preparedness Month had its inception in 2004 and American CPR Training® was there. National Preparedness Month is observed each September in the United States of America. The White House, FEMA, CDC, Ready.gov (Listo.gov), and the Office of Emergency Management promote National Preparedness during September of each year and bring you information so you can PREPARE for disasters. Remember "Pre-pare" ~ "Pre" means before... not after!
"National Preparedness Month is an important reminder about each American's civic responsibility to prepare for emergencies," said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. "Those with the capacity and wherewithal to help themselves must do so in advance, so that in the event of an emergency, responders can first assist those who are unable to tend to themselves. From wildfires and earthquakes in California, to hurricanes and tropical storms along the Gulf Coast, to flooding in the Midwest, recent events remind us more than ever that we must prepare ourselves and our families for
a disaster. September is the time, each year, when every American should ask the question,
Am I ready?'"

Does your family know how to get in touch with each other during emergencies if you are not all together?
Before an emergency happens, have a family discussion to determine who would be your out-of-state point of contact, and where you would meet away from your home - both in the neighborhood and within your town.
Preparing Your Family & Friends
Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to think about the following situations anplan just incase. Consider the following questions when making a plan:- How will my family/household get emergency alerts and warnings?
- How will my family/household get to safe locations for relevant emergencies?
- How will my family/household get in touch if cell phone, internet, or landline doesn't work?
- How will I let loved ones know I am safe?
- How will family/household get to a meeting place after the emergency?

Family Communications Plan for Kids
Emergencies can happen at any time. Do you know how to get in touch with your family if you are not together? Let them know you're OK! Pick the same person for each family member to contact. It might be easier to reach someone who's out of town. Where will you meet up with your family if you have to get out of your house quickly? Where will you meet if your neighborhood is being evacuated and you're not at home? Unless you are in immediate danger, send a text. Texts often have an easier time getting through during emergencies, and you don't want to tie up phone lines needed by emergency responders (like 911).

Know Where to Go...and How to Get There!
Pick a Meeting Spot. Where will you meet up with your family if you have to get out of your house quickly? Where will you meet if your neighborhood is being evacuated and you're not at home? Draw a Map. Put a Triangle to show your home. Put a Circle to show your school. Mark your out-of-neighborhood meeting spot with an X and label it. Know the Exits. Do you know two ways out of every room in your house in case of a fire? Draw a floor plan of your bedroom in the space below and circle the two ways to get out. Hint: one may not be a door!
