September is National Preparedness month . Your local public health officials urge you to start the planning at home.  It is very important that you and your family are prepared for any disaster that may affect our community.  Individuals should ask how can I protect myself and my family and what can I do to help the planning and response efforts.  The answer is by creating a family emergency plan and kit; as well as volunteering with your local Northeast Texas Medical Reserve Corps.
