National Preparedness Month:​ Prepare Today To Be READY Tomorrow​

September is National Preparedness Month. The Virginia Office of EMS wants to make sure you are READY today for what comes tomorrow!

As EMS providers, you are called to respond to emergencies, disasters and other events that may require you to be away from your family for long periods of time. Because of that, ensuring personal, family, and professional readiness is critical to maintaining resilience during response.

Each week we will share recommendations for building and maintaining preparedness. You can also learn more at: www.ready.gov/september.
