@mdavispio.bsky.socialWant to support first responders? Prepare before disaster strikes. A prepared household can take appropriate action while responders focus on those who need help most. IMTA supports FEMA’s “Americans Stand Ready” campaign. #NationalPreparednessMonth #IMTA
@mdinsuranceadmin.bsky.socialAs we wrap up Preparedness Month, make sure to be prepared all year long. Visit our website for more information on preparedness: https://insurance.maryland.gov/Consumer/Pages/InsurancePreparednessNaturalDisasters.aspx #MDInsurance #NPM2026 #NationalPreparednessMonth

@uwdeohs.bsky.socialWhen catastrophic wildfires blazed across Spokane and elsewhere this summer, DEOHS researchers and partners mobilized to collect short-lived evidence that could have a long-lasting impact on people's health. #NationalPreparednessMonth

@cityema.bsky.socialAs #NationalPreparednessMonth closes, the Board of Aldermen invited CEMA to provide Friday's Reflection. Commissioner Gregg Favre urged disaster prep: sign up for NotifySTL, build a kit, & make a plan.

@alamedacountyca.bsky.socialWater, food, flashlights, and medications are a good place to start. Build your emergency kit one step at a time. https://direc.to/owUv #ReadyTogether #NationalPreparednessMonth #BuildAKit #EmergencyReady #Preparedness
@mdhealthdept.bsky.socialEnsure your household is ready when disaster strikes. During #NationalPreparednessMonth, complete an emergency contact sheet for everyone in your home to store inside wallets or school bags. Pro tip: save a digital photo of it on your mobile device for quick reference: bit.ly/3xeZTtJ.
@asprgov.bsky.socialYou can’t prepare for every risk the same way. During #NationalPreparednessMonth, explore ASPR TRACIE’s Hazard Vulnerability/Risk Assessment resources to identify and prioritize the hazards that could affect your organization or community before a disaster strikes. https://bit.ly/4AnEMld
@cityema.bsky.socialPrepare a safe food supply for the next power outage, flood, or earthquake.
Check your kit and toss any canned goods that are dented, swollen, rusted, or past their expiration date so they're ready when you need them.

@sf-emergency.sf.govUse flashlights instead of candles. Keep generators outdoors, at least 20 feet from doors, windows, and vents. Never operate one indoors or in an enclosed space.
Save this checklist and use our ReadySF outage guide to get ready before the next one.
@disasterstrat.bsky.socialAs we start to wrap up #NationalPreparednessMonth, we want to show you how to build a support network to support you before, during, and after disasters.
We hope this post is a reminder to check in on yourself and your support network today!

@dakotaelectric.bsky.socialThis #NationalPreparednessMonth, create an emergency plan with your family. Talk about:
Where you'll meet if you're separated.
How you'll communicate if cell service is limited.
Who will check on older relatives or neighbors.
What you'll do if an outage lasts several hours or longer.
@alamedacountyca.bsky.socialNational Preparedness Month starts with knowing your risks. Learn about the hazards that can impact Alameda County and how to prepare. https://direc.to/owUv #ReadyTogether #NationalPreparednessMonth #KnowYourRisks #PreparednessStartsAtHome #StayReady
@socriskanalysis.bsky.socialKnowing a risk exists is only the beginning.
Risk analysis helps us understand vulnerabilities, potential impacts and possible responses – turning knowledge about risk into better-informed decisions.
This #NationalPreparednessMonth, we're highlighting the science behind preparedness.
