U.S. House of Representatives

U.S. Rep. Sam Graves (MO)

“National Preparedness Month serves as an important reminder that emergencies and disasters can happen at any time, often with little warning. Preparedness is a shared responsibility, so when individuals, families, local officials, first responders, and emergency managers are prepared and working together, our communities are stronger and more resilient. Taking the time to prepare before disaster strikes can make a real difference in keeping families safe and helping communities respond and recover. I encourage Americans to use this month as an opportunity to review their plans, talk with their families, and take practical steps to be ready if disaster strikes.”

U.S. Rep. Dale Strong (AL)

“North Alabama is no stranger to severe weather events, and we know all too well how destructive natural disasters can be. As a lifelong volunteer firefighter, certified EMT, and former 9-1-1 dispatcher, I understand how critical it is to plan for emergency situations. That is why I am proud to serve as a Co-Chair for National Preparedness Month and coordinate with FEMA to ensure our communities are planning for safety and mitigating risk. Readiness is key, and we all must be prepared to do our part when disaster strikes.”
