With major disasters occurring more frequently, the American Red Cross emphasizes the importance of household preparedness, especially during National Preparedness Month in September. Edward Blanchard, Regional Disaster Officer, suggests low-cost or no-cost steps to help families prepare for emergencies. Key recommendations include downloading the free Red Cross Emergency app, creating an emergency plan, and assembling go-kits and stay-at-home kits using items already at home. Families should also consider their pets' needs and gather emergency contact information. The Red Cross offers resources for businesses and organizations to enhance their disaster readiness as well.
