Each September, National Preparedness Month reminds us that a little advanced planning can make a lifesaving difference in a large-scale emergency.

Ready.gov offers a number of resources such as hashtags, preparedness messaging, and videos to add to your website or social media streams to help spread the word on how to prepare for an emergency.

For alerts and safety on the go, check out FEMA’s mobile app for weather warnings, safety reminders, shelter locations sent right to your phone.
