Overview
Throughout September 2004, the US Department of Homeland Security, American Red Cross, American Prepared Campaign, the National Association of Broadcasters, the US Department of Education and other partners, will host a series of events to highlight the importance of citizen emergency preparedness.

During National Preparedness Month, coalition partners will promote the basic steps all Americans can take to prepare for emergencies through a variety of activities. You are encouraged to heighten your awareness and preparedness. For a good resource on personal and family readiness, visit www.Ready.gov, or www.OPM.gov. Great information is available and should be accessed to Get a Kit, then Make a Plan and Be Prepared.

Should you have any questions about personal preparedness and also what GSA is doing to help this agency be prepared, contact your regional Emergency Coordinator or the Office of Emergency Management at [phone].

We will keep all associates informed as developments occur.

2. Maybe Gore should have used this as a campaign gimmick or a BUSH

ADMINISTRATION SURVIVAL KIT in 2000 to help as many people be survivors of the disasters and calamities that were sure to happen if "divine powers that be" forbid, Bush were ever elected..........................................

3. Shouldn't we always be prepared?

WTF is "Preparedness Month"? Is that like "Don't Run Over Children With Your Car Week"? I mean, aren't some things permanent?

Or, maybe, the alerts are false.
