Note: Today is day 11 of National Preparedness Month and ten years to the day since the horrific attack on 9/11/2001 – an indelible reminder that not all disasters are due to natural causes.
It is this observance that has led to the adoption of `A Time to Remember, A Time to Prepare’ as the key message for NPM11.
This month, as part of NPM11, I’ll be rerunning some edited and updated older preparedness essays, along with some new ones.

The University of California has produced a series of disaster and preparedness videos which are available on their Youtube channel UCtelevision.
While I’ve highlighted most of these videos in the past, today I’ve added a couple of new ones; Disaster Plan and Home Preparedness in Earthquake Country.
I’ve watched most of these, and they are Highly recommended.
Are you ready for the next inevitable disaster? Whether you're an emergency responder, health care provider, or a community member who wants to know more about keeping your family safe, you'll want to watch this four-part video series from University of California Television and the California Preparedness Education Network. You will hear from noted health care providers and disaster response experts from around California, a state with a well-tested emergency response system that serves as a model for the rest of the country.
