OEM RECOGNIZES NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH IN NYC

September is National Preparedness Month � a nationwide effort co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the American Red Cross to encourage individuals to take simple steps to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses, and schools.

In New York City, OEM, in partnership with many corporate and community partners, will host a number of events to promote the Ready New York preparedness message around the city.

From a kick-off event at Grand Central Terminal to a corporate fair in downtown Brooklyn, OEM and its partners will encourage New Yorkers to develop a disaster plan, assemble an emergency supply kit, put together a Go Bag, and learn more about local hazards throughout September. Being prepared for any emergency � whether a house fire, power outage, hurricane, or terrorist attack � is as easy as planning ahead.

Take the time this September to learn more about ways you can prepare for emergencies. Consider participating in a preparedness event near you, or review the Ready New York guide (in PDF). Organizations can support National Preparedness Month by hosting an event or reprinting copies of the Ready New York guide for members and employees. To request a Ready New York speaker for your event, contact us.

To kick off Preparedness Month in New York City, OEM will host a Ready New York event at Grand Central Terminal on September 1. OEM staff, as well as members of the American Red Cross in Greater New York and Citizen Corps, will be available to offer additional tips and answer questions. Look for the Ready New York table near Grand Central's Vanderbilt Hall.
