📢 September is National Preparedness Month!

Missouri weather can change quickly—from tornadoes and severe storms to winter ice and flooding. 🌪️⛈️❄️🌊 That’s why it’s so important to be ready before disaster strikes.

✅ Make a Plan: Talk with your family about where to go and who to contact in an emergency.
✅ Build a Kit: Include food, water, flashlights, batteries, medications, and important documents.
✅ Stay Informed: Sign up for Missouri’s Alert System and follow trusted sources like SEMA (State Emergency Management Agency) and the National Weather Service.
✅ Get Involved: Check with your community about volunteer opportunities and preparedness events.

Preparing today means protecting tomorrow. 💙 Let’s work together to keep Caldwell County strong, safe, and ready!
