September is recognized as National Preparedness Month (NPM) which serves as a reminder that we all must take action to prepare, now and throughout the year, for the types of emergencies that could affect us where we live, work, and also where we visit. This year the focus is on preparedness for youth, older adults, and people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs.
