National Preparedness Month — September 2024

The United States observes National Preparedness Month each September to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen at any time. 

In 2024, ACF adopted the Ready Campaign's 2024 National Preparedness Theme: “Start a Conversation” . OHSEPR posted resources on its National Preparedness Month 2024 web page allowing organizations to start conversations that would help them prepare for many kinds of emergencies. The web page also provided a list of emergency and disaster preparedness resources available through ACF program offices.

Find out more about what ACF did to recognize National Preparedness Month 2024 and what it continues to do all year around.
