September is Preparedness Month
Calhoun County Emergency Management Director Durk Dunham took the 16th year since the 9-11 attacks to remind residents preparedness is good.
September is preparedness month, and Dunham told 95.3 WBCK being ready in the event of a disaster does not have to cost as much as some think. As well, it is important, he said, to run down a checklist of items which can help.
Dunham recommends ready.gov for more information about preparedness from the national level, and signing up for Nixle advisories locally.
