September is Emergency Preparedness Month

The Union County Board of County Commissioners reminds residents that September is Emergency Preparedness Month. Emergencies can happen at any time and often without warning, so now is a good time to make sure you and your family are prepared.

Take a few simple steps this month: create or update your family emergency plan, build an emergency supply kit, review important contact information, and make sure you know how to receive local emergency alerts.

Preparedness today can make a major difference when an emergency happens. Learn more about emergency preparedness and available resources through ReadyNJ and the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management.
