National Preparedness Month 2021 – Choose From Over 75 Steps To Take
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to our weekly email. Thanks for visiting!
In this article, I list over 75 different steps you can take to move your preparedness to the next level to celebrate National Preparedness Month 2021.
Let’s look at how we can really hit National Preparedness Month 2021 hard and see what steps WE can take.
September is officially the United State’s National Preparedness Month 2021. It’s true, officially recognized, ratified, and proclamified (Yes, I just coined a new word, stop judging) by the crooks running everything into the ground.
Let’s take advantage of the few times they get something right. It’s never been a better time to become more prepared.
National Preparedness Month started seventeen years ago and is officially sponsored by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and DHS (Department of Homeland Security).
Since September 11, 2001, the US Government has taken steps to encourage all citizens to make their own survival preparations. September was chosen as National Preparedness Month, as the tragedies of September 11, 2001 highlighted to the nation the importance of being prepared.
There’s actually a lot of good information available on Ready.gov. It’s worth a look, but I’m betting most of Next Step Survival’s visitors are ahead of the average citizen when it comes to prepping and preparedness.
Rather than boring you with details, I want to make this a concise post on taking action during National Preparedness Month 2021 – All of September.
The graphic above is from Ready.gov for National Preparedness Month promoting weekly themes.
First of all, I actually like the way Ready dot gov has outlined a preparedness schedule. However, I think it might need an adjustment for most seasoned preppers, so let’s see what we can come up with.
Since we all have different situations, degrees of responsibility, and levels of preparedness, our National Preparedness Month 2021 steps will vary.
The “Pick & Choose” strategy sounds appropriate to make the best of our September preparedness effort.
So how about I list a bunch of potential steps to take, you add some of your own, and we run with our preparedness plan and see how far we can get by the end of the month?
📄 Note: These preparedness steps are just me spitballing from the top of my head. They’re in no particular order. Pick whatever you want to use or think up something entirely different.
Just don’t make it too complicated.
I believe we should be moving forward in our preparedness level year-round but after the last year and a half we’ve just experienced, National Preparedness Month 2021 seems like the perfect time to kick things up a notch.
One last thing – I want this list to motivate and inspire. Please don’t allow it to overwhelm you. Take a couple of items that make sense for your situation and run with it. Then try to keep that momentum up.
An official National Preparedness Month might legitimize the idea of prepping to those you care about that have been reluctant in the past.
Unfortunately, I haven’t seen a lot of mainstream news even mentioning National Preparedness Month. Outside of our little circles, few people are going to even be aware it exists.
We don’t want to be the person that everyone ignores because we seem obsessed over the idea of forcing something down people’s throats but, a gentle reminder every now and then might save lives one day.
Below, I put together a short copy&paste (Click to highlight) note to help you get started if that is something you decide to do. You can copy it, edit it to your liking, then email, post to social media, print it, whatever you feel appropriate.
It would be awesome if you could drop other potential preparedness steps in the comment section below.
Thank you and now let’s get to work. Things look like they might get worse before they get better, That’s not fearmongering, just an observation.
Stay safe. Stay prepared.
Hawkins Out.
