September is National Emergency Preparedness Month. It's observed to encourage all of us to prepare for emergencies in our homes, businesses, and communities.
Do you know how to prepare your house for a hurricane or flood? Do you have an emergency supply kit? Do you and your family members have a plan for contacting each other in case of an emergency?
Develop a plan to suit your family’s unique needs. To help get you started, use the tools at http://www.ready.gov/. All employees are encouraged to follow three steps to prepare for potential emergencies at home:
-- Stock a supply kit with items needed to survive an emergency.
-- Make a family plan ahead of time to know what to do during an emergency.
-- Be informed about potential emergency situations that could occur.
Meanwhile, be assured that the Postal Service has an Emergency Action Plan at the local, area, and national levels.
If there is an emergency, including the threat/strike of a tropical storm or hurricane, remember to call the USPS National Emergency Hotline — 888-363-7462 — for the latest information on work reporting status and facility openings and closings.
