Prepare America
The document discusses the importance of civic duty and personal preparedness. It summarizes an ancient Athenian code about honoring one's city and laws. It encourages preparing for emergencies by making a plan, assembling an emergency kit, and staying informed. Readers are advised to consider the needs of elderly family members, those with special needs, pets, and helping neighbors to be better prepared.
Prepare America

- 2. The Ancient Athenianshad a Code “ We will never bring disgrace on this our City by any act of dishonesty or cowardice. We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the City both alone and with many. We will revere and obey the City’s laws and do our best to incite a like reverence and respect in those above us who are prone to annul them or set them at naught. We will strive increasingly to quicken the public’s sense of civic duty . Thus in all these ways we will transmit this City, not only not less, but greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
