Are you prepared to respond if an emergency happened today?
If an emergency happened today, would you and your family be prepared to respond? National Preparedness Month is observed each September to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies to help keep you, your family, and the community safe. The Detroit Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management encourages everyone to be prepared to respond before, during and after a disaster or emergency.
Find information and resources about how to protect yourself and your family--including how to prepare an Emergency Communications Plan and how to build an Emergency Supply Kit--by visiting detroitmi.gov/DHSEM or Ready.gov and searching emergency preparedness.
Another important step you can take to prepare for possible emergencies is to sign up to receive Detroit Alerts 365, the City of Detroit emergency notification system. To register, or for more information, visit DetroitAlerts365.org or text DetroitAlerts365 to 99411.
