So…I think I found out the reason why Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) doesn’t use the term “NPM” for National Preparedness Month on the Twitter.

Drumroll……………

Apparently, the internets use “NPM” for No Pants Monday.

NPM = No Pants Monday

How about them apples?

And today is Monday. Oh boy.

So, as an Emergency Manager, I’d suggest you heavily consider using the FEMA aformentioned #NATLPREP – not just “NPM”.

I’ve also seen #NPM13 or #NPM2013 or #NATIONALPREPAREDNESSMONTH or #NATIONALPREPAREDNESS

Just a simple Emergency Management observation.

Just glad to help with this small nugget of info for you.
