National Preparedness and Campus Fire Safety Month

[Michael Caraballo]

Campus Community:


September is National Preparedness and Campus Fire Safety Month!


Each September, individuals are encouraged to take simple steps to improve
fire safety and to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses, and
communities. Throughout this month, SUNY Plattsburgh's Emergency Management
will provide you with tools and information on preparing for emergencies
and improving fire safety.


In keeping with the theme of preparedness and fire safety, the following
are two very important campus events scheduled for September:

Begin preparing for emergencies by doing three things:

   1.

   Be informed -  Know what disasters could affect your area, how to get
   emergency alerts, and where you would go if you and your family need to
   evacuate.
   2.

   Plan ahead - Make a plan and build an emergency supplies kit
   3.

   Take action – Get involved.


The more you are prepared, the better you can act and minimize panic or
confusion when an emergency occurs. Visit Ready.gov <http://ready.gov/> to
