"Uncle Sam" asks: Are you ready for an emergency?
Emergency Management Alert, September 9, 2008
September is National Preparedness Month and the Department of Homeland Security reminds citizens and businesses, through its "Ready" campaign, about the civic responsibility to prepare for emergencies.
"From wildfires and earthquakes in California, to hurricanes and tropical storms along the Gulf Coast, to flooding in the Midwest, recent events remind us more than ever that we must prepare ourselves and our families for a disaster," says Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.
