This March, as shamrocks and rainbows take center stage, remember — safety isn’t about luck. It’s about planning ahead. Emergencies can happen anytime, and the best way to protect yourself, your family, and your community is to prepare now.
The luck of the Irish will be with you with the following Preparedness Steps:
-
Make a plan – Know where to go, who to call, and how to reconnect if separated.
-
Build or refresh your emergency kit – Include food, water, medications, flashlights, batteries, and important documents.
-
Stay informed – Sign up for local weather alerts and follow trusted information sources.
-
Know your risks – Be aware of seasonal hazards like severe storms, flooding, or wildfires in your area.
-
Practice your plan – Involve the whole family so everyone knows what to do.
Being prepared means you won’t have to rely on four-leaf clovers or a pot of gold when challenges come your way.
