So many state emergency management agencies have apps that can help you prepare. Here’s a fine example of the @scemd app that has tons of #preparedness info on #hurricane #nuclear #winter #snow #thunderstorm #wildfire #flooding #thunder #tornado #safety
No matter what part of the country you reside or work, be better prepared with these kinds of free apps available to anyone.
#FREE #NATLPREP
So many free things you can do to better prepare yourself for an emergency or disaster.
FEMA Region V Administrator James Joseph was in Washington DC today for the Youth Preparedness Council at Red Cross HQ.
Great to see Ready.Gov partnering with everyone on today’s events.

It’s dangerous working with propeller aircraft use #NatlPrep
No joke-do not walk into the props!
Safety is always the first priority when doing air operations of any kind.
The general public should take the time to watch the news and find out the areas that have active air operations. Stay clear of those areas.
Also probably a good time to remind you about these things.
Don’t wait. Communicate. Make your emergency plan today.
It is Tuesday and the final day of 2014 National Preparedness Month.
“Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare”
National Preparedness Day!!!!
This week’s theme is consistent with FEMA’s National Preparedness Campaign: Practice for an emergency
#30: Flat Stanley & Flat Stella stopped by the fire station to check out our emergency preparedness kits. #NatlPrep #Prepared2014
In honor of National Preparedness Day, we had two special visitors at our fire station. Flat Stanley and Flat Stella stopped by for a quick visit and tour.
They wanted to see if all Firefighters and Paramedics were participating and prepared as part of September’s 2014 National Preparedness Month which was held all month long.
Both Flat Stanley and Flat Stella checked our Emergency Preparedness Kit in Ladder-11.
Flat Stanley asked if we had enough water ready…
Of course we do!
Flat Stella asked to see our emergency contact list as well as my new smoke detector.
As you can see, our emergency contact information is contained in the Vial of Life Program. And smoke detectors are always free from the fire department.
Flat Stanley made sure these were fresh fire extinguishers and they were ready to go.
Both had an awesome chance to take a ride in BFD Ladder-11.
Special thanks to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Ready.Gov program.
Also thanks to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), FEMA’s Ready.Gov, Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS), Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA), and the Trumbull County Emergency Management Agency.
What a month! I’m proud of everyone who participated in National Preparedness Month and extremely happy that everyone is more prepared for any emergency or disaster.

#27: Sports heroes? Celebrities? Nope. But these heroes will always come through in an emergency #Prepared2014 #NatlPrep
Share with your entire family today what a real hero is like. Share your emergency plans with your entire family.
Friday night lights? Saturday College Football? Sunday NFL? None of that matters.
Look, you may not be famous…
…or get paid zillions of dollars per minute. Who cares!
Your preparedness and planning efforts will come back ten-fold because it’s your family. Family is everything.
Be your family’s hero today.
It’s Friday in the fourth week of 2014 National Preparedness Month.

Ahhh, Aloha Fridays!

#26: Are ALL your emergency flashlights working? Test em if you got em! #Prepared2014 #NatlPrep
Since it’s a beautiful day, I would be a great day to test all your flashlights.
A few weeks ago, I talked about having flashlights in case of an emergency. Now would be the time to test and make sure each flashlight is in working condition.
Don’t forget about your helmet lights too!
And for my friends in the law enforcement world, don’t forget to check all your weapon lights too.
*I also had to change the batteries in my EOTech too.
Your preparedness actions now will definitely save you time during an emergency.
Reminder again, throw away all candles. Candles are dangerous and can start fires. Flashlights are WAY better for lighting.
Happy Aloha Friday everyone!

It is an essential part of your plan…actually doing it!
This was the view of the State of Ohio Emergency Operations Center where numerous emergency management agencies across the state participated in a multi-agency all-hazards annual power plant training. This training was evaluated by FEMA Region-V.
See, even the professionals train too!

Your kid can be a Ready – Big Hero too!
