Eugene Community Creates a Safer Tomorrow During National Preparedness Month?
9/19/2023 (Permalink)
Every September, the Federal Emergency Management Agency devotes the month of September as National Preparedness Month, a month filled with awareness campaigns and community activities that help people plan for emergencies and disasters. Our local team in South Eugene and Florence responds to storm damage emergencies every year and encourages participation in these community events this month.
National Preparedness Month holds immense importance as it serves as a vital platform to educate individuals about the risks and hazards that could significantly impact their lives. Natural disasters like floods and wildfires, or those arising from human-made incidents like chemical spills, can strike without warning. Through its advocacy for preparedness, this initiative strives to equip both individuals and communities with the knowledge and tools needed to proactively respond to these events, lessening their adverse effects and ultimately safeguarding precious lives.to take necessary actions during these emergencies and ultimately save lives.
This year, the emphasis is on older adult populations and ensuring their needs are met during and after a disaster or emergency. Many older adults require medication and caregiver support or live in isolation and may need community support to stay safe. Addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by older adults enhances their resilience and reduces the negative impacts of emergencies on their lives.
