Emergency Preparedness

Emergency Preparedness Week 

Emergency Preparedness Week (EPW) is a national awareness initiative and a reminder to take simple steps to protect yourself, your household, and your community during an emergency.

Emergency Preparedness Week takes place each year in May. In 2026, it runs from May 3 to 9. The theme is “Prepared Together.”
