September is National Preparedness Month (NPM). In the past I have posted information and links to help people get prepared. I still have quite a bit of information to share, but I was wondering if anyone was interested. If you are interested, what kind of information would you like to see? Some of the topics I can cover are:

• How to design and implement a disaster plan.
• What to keep in your Go Bag. (A “Go Bag” is a backpack or other small bag you keep handy to grab and go during an event.)
• Tips for creating an emergency stockpile in your home.
• How to communicate effectively during an event.
• Amateur radio and how to get your own license.
• How Amateur radio is used during emergencies and disasters.
• The difference between an emergency and a disaster and how to prepare for each.
• Questions and Answers.

So shall I roll up my sleeves and start coming up with some posts? I was just thinking that September is NPM, but events can occur at any time during the year. Maybe I should post about this during the whole year, not just this one month. Something to think about.

Update: There has been enough interest so I will prepare a month of preparedness posts for September. I welcome any questions because I would like to provide information that you can use.
