September is National Preparedness Month 


National Preparedness Banner

In the event of a disaster everyday ways we communicate may not be available. Local phone lines may be jammed and calls may not get through. Internet connection could be down as well. 

Having a family communication plan is key to helping your family navigate through a disaster. Talk as a family, together about:

  • Who will be your out of area contact?
  • Where will we meet if there are no ways to communicate with one another?
  • What is our school's Emergency Plan?
  • What will be our alternative route to get home if roads and bridges are damaged?
  • Do we have important phone numbers written down and can everyone access them?
