One of the key tenants of emergency management is ensuring we are prepared to respond and react to anticipated and unanticipated disasters. The Office of Emergency Management, in coordination with our off-base partners and recommendations of Federal Emergency Management Agency’s initiative, is proud to participate in the 2021 National Preparedness Month informational campaign. This informational campaign, which began in 2004, is observed each September. NPM encourages local communities to take steps to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses, schools and public areas.
