September is National Preparedness Month

In recognition of National Preparedness Month, the Franklin Borough Fire Department encourages everyone to take the time to prepare for a potential emergency or disaster and ensure that they and their families know how to respond before, during and after such a scenario. Because a disaster or emergency can happen anywhere at any time with little or no warning, it pays to be prepared. It only takes a few simple steps to be prepared: (1) get an emergency supply kit, (2) create an emergency plan, and (3) stay informed.

Several websites (www.ready.gov and www.readypa.org) have been created to provide comprehensive information about what steps people should take before an emergency occurs, what to do once a disaster has occurred, and how to recover from a disaster or emergency. Additional information can be found by reviewing the Pennsylvania emergency preparedness guide, which is available through www.pema.state.pa.us, www.health.state.pa.us, or by calling 1-877-PA-HEALTH.

Citizens are also encouraged to become members of their Community Emergency Response Team or Citizen Corps council and/or obtain preparedness training that is available through the county emergency management agency or local American Red Cross chapter.
