Preparedness starts at home! Today is the first #TestItTuesday of Preparedness Month. Plan a time this week to: ☑ Test your smoke alarms. ☑ Talk about your home fire escape plan with your family. ☑ Practice your home fire escape plan.

The first step to be ready for a disaster is knowing what hazards are common in your area. Once you understand your risks, you can make a plan for what you and your loved ones will do and take actions to strengthen your home and property. #PreparednessStartsAtHome
