Preparing for emergencies in National Preparedness Month
September is National Preparedness Month and King County wants to help you stay safe – and keep your family and community safe – in the event of an emergency.
The best time to prepare for a natural disaster or emergency is before it happens. Here are some steps you can take to be more prepared:
- Make a plan workbook: Use the Get Ready King County fillable workbook to start (or continue) your preparedness journey. The step-by-step workbook guides you through the resources and items you need to be ready for an emergency.
- Personal and family readiness: Emergencies can happen anywhere, any time. Make sure you’re ready at home, in your car, or at work or school. Find out how.
