LDR: September Is National Preparedness Month

Be Informed, Make a Plan, Get a Kit

22 September 2009

September is National Preparedness Month, and over the last few weeks, Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR) has been encouraging folks to get prepared following three simple steps – 1) Be Informed, 2) Make a Plan, and 3) Get a Kit.  If you haven’t already done so, get started today by visiting www.ldr.org/ready.

Now that you have taken the steps to becoming better prepared, LDR wants to hear from you.  What was it like to put together your disaster plan and make your disaster kit?  Why do you think it’s important to be prepared?  Have you been through a disaster and known the value of disaster preparedness?  Or have you volunteered in a disaster area and had a taste of what disaster-affected people have been through?

Submit your READY story, in print or video, by e-mailing LDR at LutheranDisasterResponse@elca.org.  Be sure to give your name, your congregation, and your hometown, and LDR will share the best READY stories with others to encourage them to get prepared today.

Together, let’s become the ReadyChurch!  Visit www.ldr.org/ready today!
