02 September 2022

From Commander, Navy Installations Command Public Affairs

September is National Preparedness Month (NPM) and Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) is observing this year’s theme, “A Lasting Legacy: The life you’ve built is worth protecting. Prepare for disasters to create a lasting legacy for you and your family,” by offering educational webinars, informational resources and guidance to educate Navy families about disaster preparedness.

“Emergency preparedness is a prevention measure. Focusing on your and your family’s emergency readiness will prevent risk, stress, property damage and many other hardships that follow natural disasters and large scale emergencies.” said Judith Wright, Family Emergency Response Program Analyst with Fleet and Family Support Program for CNIC. “During National Preparedness Month, the Navy and other federal organizations are offering numerous opportunities to learn how to increase your family’s emergency readiness. We hope our Sailors and their spouses take advantage of the available resources. No one can prevent a disaster but you can be prepared!”

Each week in September will focus on different preparedness themes: Make a Plan; Teach Youth about Preparedness; Protect Your Family & Your Property; and Tapping into Your Navy Response Support. Fleet and Family Support Program will provide helpful information about these topics during their online webinars, which are open to Sailors, personnel and family members at no cost at https://ffsp.zeiders.refineddata.com.
