Emergency Preparedness Week

About Emergency Preparedness Week
Emergency Preparedness Week, May 4 to 10, is an annual opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of preparedness.

Being prepared isn’t just about what supplies you have. It's about working together, so we can collectively respond to and recover from emergencies better.

This year's Emergency Preparedness Week theme is "In it together," recognizing the importance of relationships and community connection.
