The day is finally here – America’s PreparAthon!!!!!! Today is the official preparedness event. I hope that everyone was able to get registered in time. This is the time for you, your family, your friends, and even different organizations to learn about preparedness in your area. Discussions, activities, and/or tabletop exercises should be happening in order to increase your awareness of the disasters that can happen in your area. At Toledo-Lucas County Health Department we will be reviewing the preparedness plans and kits that we have been putting together during September.
If you did not have time to register for America’s PreparAthon! do not worry. You can still participate by going back through the blog we have posted and review the different materials. This will help you start preparing for different types of disasters throughout our area. If you have any questions about anything in the blog posts please let us know by either leaving a comment or following us on Twitter and/or Facebook.
After completing your PreparAthon day use surveys to get feedback to plan improvements and enhance your organizations preparedness. There is no time like the present to make changes and improve on plans for potential future disasters.
