NATIONAL PREPAREATHON DAY! – APRIL 30

NATIONAL PREPAREATHON DAY!

National PrepareAthon! Day on April 30th reminds us that crises happen suddenly. Being prepared needs to happen now, not later.
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or wildfires require us to make decisions with little or no warning. Do you have an emergency plan in place with your family in the event of an emergency situation?
