Today, we remember that fateful day eight years ago when our country was attacked. So many lives were lost and if it hadn’t been for the many first responders that responded quickly and appropriately, we may have lost many more people.
September has been named Emergency Preparedness Month (http://www.ready.gov/america/npm09/). Since 9/11/01, many communities and agencies have been preparing for emergencies such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters , pandemic flu and the current threat of H1N1. Please educate and prepare yourself and your family by visiting resources like ready.gov and flu.gov.
Today, let us all remember 9/11 and be thankful for all those that gave their lives. Also take the time to plan and make sure your family and workplace has an emergency plan in place. We can’t predict what is coming therefore we need to do what we can to be prepared!
