Preparedness isn’t abstract. It’s the difference between chaos and calm. And preparedness is built together.

=> It’s the hospital that kept running during a hurricane because of investments in preparedness. => It’s knowing who to call when your community needs medicine

=> It’s the neighbors who volunteered to help others in their communities.

As National Preparedness Month ends, ASPR reflects on the progress we’ve made and the people who make resilience possible. From rebuilding medical supply chains and empowering regional responders, to celebrating 10 years of ASPR TRACIE and the dedication of Medical Reserve Corps volunteers, one truth stands out: preparedness is built together.
