September is National Preparedness Month! You can ensure that you and your crew are ready for an emergency by taking action this month. This year's theme is "Start a conversation". From ready.gov: "Talking about bad things that could happen like a disaster or emergency isn’t always easy. We may think we’re protecting the people we love by avoiding these conversations, but they are important to start taking steps to get ready and stay safe. 'Starting a conversation today can help you and your family to take more actions to prepare. By taking simple steps, you can build your preparedness at your own pace." Learn more from ready.gov about what steps you can take here: https://www.ready.gov/september Safety Information for Rexburg Residents: https://www.rexburg.org/.../safety-information-for-residents
