National Preparedness Month 

September is National Preparedness Month, a time we reach out to the community so we can all learn what to do.  North Central Texas already has access to a disaster preparedness program called KnoWhat2Do.  The web site www.KnoWhat2do.com is a complete resource - helping people identify the hazards that threaten our area, and detailing ways to be prepared.  It also provides useful information about volunterring and donating to victims. 

Think. Prepare. Act.
