September 2026 is National Emergency Preparedness Month and there is so much you can be thinking about for your preparations – you, your family, your business, your church, your schools. So much feels like it needs to be protected and considered for taking care of when the storms arrive in your location/town/state/country.

The non-profits that come to help take care of us when there is a disaster, ask us to prepare by: storing sufficient water for at least 72 hours; put together a backpack or tote bag with critical information and supplies for those 72 hours. And be able to communicate with those that need us or we need while having food for ourselves and family.

Ready.gov has some amazingly thorough information and guidance for you consider necessary for you. Our own NatalieManor.com/the-red-book supplies information that is not only critical to know and plan for, but allows you to feel confident about the preparing you are doing. Be safe. Take time to plan. You deserve to be safe and well when more storms are coming.
