Prepare your health : personal health preparedness
  • English

  • Details:

    • Description:
      Every September, the Center for Preparedness and Response (CPR) along with its preparedness and response partners in government, private and public health, and academia come together to observe National Preparedness Month (NPM) and encourage year-round personal and community preparedness for disasters, disease outbreaks, and human-caused emergencies.

      Personal health preparedness is about having the wherewithal to care for and protect your health and wellness in the immediate aftermath of an emergency or disaster. That means having the supplies, skill, and self-confidence to bounce back from a difficult or life-changing event like a natural disaster.

      Large-scale events, like hurricanes, can cause widespread destruction and long-lasting power outages, disrupt supply chains, and strain public health and health care systems.

      When access to resources and the availability of services is limited, it is important to have an emergency supplies kit that includes items from the following categories:

      • Personal needs

      • Prescriptions

      • Paperwork

      • Power sources

      • Practical skills
