September is Ohio Preparedness Month — a time to be aware and be prepared for all types of emergencies. They can happen anytime, from tornadoes and flooding to power outages, health crises, and more.

This year's theme, "Prepare Your Family," encourages simple steps to keep you and your family safe before disaster strikes.
