President Obama admits to not having a strategy to deal with the terrorist crisis in Syria and appears stymied in stopping Russia’s drive into Ukraine, but that doesn’t mean Americans are off the hook for preparing their own disaster strategy.

 

On Friday, the president declared September “National Preparedness Month,” a time when he wants the nation to set their own strategy for dealing with a killer crisis — like climate change.

 

“Emergencies — from hurricanes and wildfires to cyber and terrorist attacks — can strike anywhere at any time. Americans should be familiar with local threats and hazards and take steps to reduce their devastating impacts. Families should assemble a disaster supplies kit well in advance and have a plan to reconnect after a tragedy,” said the proclamation.

 

He also announced an “America’s PrepareAthon!” drill for September 30 for Americans to show they are ready for the worst.Scissors-32x32.png
