September is National Disaster Preparedness Month, and it’s easier AND more effective to plan with your community. Don’t know where to start? Here’s your guide. Save and share with your neighbors so you all have a plan when disaster happens.
Poll titled "Who in your community might face additional barriers during a disaster?" with checkboxes next to: Seniors, Disabled neighbors, People using medical equipment, People without transportation, People living alone, Families with small children, People with pets, People with large animals or livestock, Neighbors who don't speak English. Logo for Extreme Weather Survivors at the bottom.Poster titled "2. Who might someone overlook if no plan existed?" in orange text. It provides guidance to start with the assumption no plan exists yet to keep people safe, and mentions "zero responders" as being present before first responders. The poster includes a simple graphic of people icons and the logo of Extreme Weather Survivors.Checklist titled "3. What already exists?" with categories: 

- PEOPLE: Who checks on whom?
- PLACES: Cooling centers, libraries, community centers, inclusive shelters, accessible gathering spots.
- RESOURCES: Generators, medical equipment, animal carriers, transportation, fire extinguishers, fire blankets, wheelchairs, chainsaws. Who knows first aid?
- COMMUNICATION: Phone tree, text group, Facebook group, apartment listserv, knocking on doors.

Includes "Extreme Weather Survivors" logo.The image is an informational flyer titled "4. Your Next 3 Steps." It lists actions for the month, including: meet one neighbor, create an emergency contact list, find the nearest cooling center, identify an evacuation buddy, learn where utilities are shut off, ask about emergency planning for seniors and disabled residents, download preparedness resources, and attend a community emergency planning meeting. The flyer is from Extreme Weather Survivors.
