The first step towards being prepared for disaster is to be informed of the types of disasters that could impact your community.  One way to know how to prepare is to reflect on the types of disasters that have impacted your area in the past.  Here in Southeastern Pennsylvania, we have seen destruction result from regular flooding, such as hit the reigion hard in  early August.
 
September is National Preparedness Month, a helpful reminder that all of us could be better prepared for the unknown and the unthinkable.  This year, Lutheran Disaster Response encourages you to be the ReadyChurch, and it takes all of us working together.  Take time this month to prepare your family, your friends and neighbors, and your congregation by following the three simple steps -- 1) Be Informed, 2) Make a Plan, and 3) Get a Kit.  Get started today by visiting www.ldr.org/ready.
 
Talk as a family, or with your friends and neighbors, or with your congregation, about the types of disasters that might affect your community and how you can be better prepared to face those uncertainties.  And stay tuned for more information coming throughout the month about how you can be Lutheran Disaster Response for your community by preparing today for what might happen tomorrow.
 
Together, let’s become the ReadyChurch!
