September is National Preparedness Month – Let’s Live Ready! Preparedness = Peace of Mind. Living ready means less stress when disaster strikes. Knowing your plan, your safe places, and your resources means you can act quickly. Building resilience through skills is a very important way to prepare for a disaster. Consider the following: - Do you know how to shut off utilities? - Have you ever used a fire extinguisher? - Do you know how to cook without power? - Do you know CPR or how to stop significant bleeding? Being prepared isn’t just about having a kit, it’s about knowing what to do. We have several resources that can help teach you these skills for free: https://lnkd.in/gKtKZStT https://lnkd.in/g4CgbuQq
