National Preparedness Month

September is National Preparedness Month!

If disaster strikes, would you be ready? In your business? In your home? Will you know what to grab in a moment's notice? How will you serve your customers while you're away from your office? How will you care for your family away from your home?

Nobody wants to think about what will happen if you experience a disaster.  It isn't normal to focus on the worst possible situation. But at Buffalo Restoration, we know all too well that disasters happen. Fires have been rampant in our community this Summer.  Disasters like wildfires can completely disrupt your life but if you have a plan, you'll minimize the impact on your family or business.

The President has declared September 2012 National Preparedness Month. 

Barack Obama says in this proclamation, "I encourage all Americans to visit www.Ready.gov or www.Listo.gov to learn more about the risks facing their communities, find out what they can do to prepare, and join thousands of individuals from coast to coast by becoming a member of the National Preparedness Coalition.  Individuals and families can also take action by building a disaster supply kit with food, water, and essential supplies in case of emergency, and by developing and sharing an emergency plan with their loved ones."

It is better to be proactive in preparing for disaster than to wait to react after it happens. You will likely have very little or no time to make a plan when disaster strikes. Give yourself peace of mind and security knowing that you can weather the toughest storm.


 President Obama finishes by saying, "As cities and towns across our country recover from natural disasters that have spanned historic drought to devastating wildfires and storms, we are reminded of the spirit of resilience that binds us together as one people and as one American family.  This month, let us honor that spirit by standing with all those affected by recent severe weather, as well as past disasters, and by taking the steps we can to protect our loved ones and our communities before disaster strikes."
