From the City of Georgetown: September is National Preparedness Month

Emergencies can strike when you least expect it. Being prepared doesn’t have to break the bank—check out these easy, low-cost ways to keep your family safe:

Stay Informed: Sign up for emergency alerts through Warn Central Texas 

Make a Plan: Create your emergency communication plan and decide on meeting points with your family.

Build a Kit over time. Start with items you already have like water, food, important documents, and batteries. When at the store, pick up an extra item that you use regularly, especially if it’s on sale!
