  • National Preparedness Month: 12 Ways to Prepare

    From ARRL de WD1CKS@VERT/WLARB to QST on Fri Sep 5 17:57:28 2025
    09/05/2025

    September is National Preparedness Month[1], and ARRL is working to arm members with knowledge and resources to be resilient in the face of disaster. Amateur radio serves as a powerful tool and national resource before and When All Else Fails[2]¿, but being prepared goes beyond radio. "Being ready to serve your community through ham radio begins with being ready yourself," says ARRL Director of Emergency Management Josh Johnston, KE5MHV. Johnston spent 17 years as a county emergency manager before coming to lead programs such as the ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency Service¿ (ARES¿). "Having a plan and preparing yourself will improve your chances of being resilient in the face of disaster." 

    ARES works closely with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which has shared this checklist of 12 ways to prepare[3] [PDF]: 

    o Sign up for alerts and warnings

    o Make a plan

    o Save for a rainy day

    o Practice emergency drills

    o Test family communication plan

    o Safeguard documents 

    o Plan with neighbors

    o Make your home safer

    o Know evacuation routes

    o Assemble or update supplies

    o Get involved in your community

    o Document and insure property

    You can find more information and resources at www.ready.gov/september[4] and at www.arrl.org/ares[5].
