Governor Charlie Crist has proclaimed September 2008 as ‘Florida Preparedness Month,’ in tandem with the annual federal outreach program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for ‘National Preparedness Month.’
The month is designed to raise awareness statewide on the importance of being prepared for all-hazards, whether natural events such as hurricanes, or man-made and domestic security threats.
Florida joins more than 1,150 public and private sector organizations nationally who are promoting emergency preparedness through hundreds of events and activities in communities across the country.
To help Floridians prepare for disasters, the state has a Web-based tool at www.FloridaDisaster.org where residents can go to build and customize their own personal or business disaster plans.
