September is National Preparedness Month, an opportunity to promote family and community disaster and emergency planning for not just the month of September, but throughout the year.

In Richardson, the Office of Emergency Management provides information and tools to prepare your family, home, and neighborhood for natural disasters and other emergencies that affect everyone.

Look out for important weekly information this month that we will be sharing to help keep you safe and well-prepared, including making a plan and building an emergency kit for you, your family, and pets.
