Emergency Preparedness Month
Emergency Preparedness Month
National Preparedness Month (NPM) is recognized each September to promote family and community disaster planning now and throughout the year. As our nation continues to protect ourselves from COVID-19, there is no better time to be involved this September. The 2021 theme is “Prepare to Protect. Preparing for disasters is protecting everyone you love.”
Johns Hopkins University and Medicine, the Baltimore City Health Department, and the Housing Authority of Baltimore City have formed a partnership to educate and support Baltimore City residents in staying prepared for all types of emergencies by hosting a series of Prepare-A-Thon Events throughout the city. Our mission is to educate families on how to make a plan, how to build their emergency kit, and support them with resources to stay prepared and connected in case of an emergency.
