National Preparedness Month

Did you know that September is National Preparedness month? Yah, me neither. But it is. Its a month that the Ready Campaign in partnership with Citizen Corps and the Ad Council work together to get people to take simple steps to become prepared for emergencies.

Their philosophy is "Get A Kit. Make A Plan. Be Informed. Get Involved." Kind of sounds like what we are promoting around here too.

Did you know that a Citizen Corps survey in 2009 revealed that only 57% of Americans have supplies set aside for an emergency and only 44% have an emergency plan? If those other 43% don't have supplies how will they survive the zombie apocalypse? More importantly will they be trying to eat my supplies?

Since it is National Preparedness Month, I encourage all of you to take a look at your kit (or start one if you haven't). Make a plan on how to best defend yourself and family against zombies. Stay informed on the current zombie sitings and get involved with preparing your community to withstand the outbreak.
