Governor Ivey Urges Alabamians to Be Ready When Disaster Strikes as September Marks "National Preparedness Month"

Press Release

"Alabama is no stranger to the unpredictable and sometimes harmful effects of Mother Nature. While we cannot stop a hurricane, tornado or flash flood, we can take steps to lessen their impact on our lives and better protect ourselves and our loved ones. National Preparedness Month is a good time to focus on making your personal plan to be ready in the event of a disaster, including having access to timely information, the ability to communicate with family and loves ones, and also have a Go-Kit with all the essentials you need if you are cut off from basic services. I encourage everyone to begin their planning well before an emergency strikes. While any time before a disaster is a good time to make plans, I recommend all Alabamians prepare for emergencies now to reduce the harm they and their families could face down the road. Plan to be ready!"
