During the month of September, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Department of Homeland Security sponsor National Preparedness Month and promote activities that educate the public on how to prepare for emergencies. \u00a0This year, the Maryland Emergency Management Agency would like to spend the month of September recognizing individuals, families, and businesses that have been positively impacted by preparing for local disasters and emergencies. We will use our social media platforms to showcase these individuals throughout the month of September.<\/p>\n
Participants can share a short story or a video documenting how being prepared has helped them or someone they know through an adverse situation. At the Maryland Emergency Management Agency we recognize that \u201cA Prepared Marylander Creates a Resilient Maryland\u201d and would like to showcase what is being done around the State to make us more prepared.<\/p>\n
Throughout the month of August we will be collecting your entries. Please send your story to us via Facebook message, Twitter or email us at\u00a0mdprepares@gmail.com<\/a>.\u00a0If you are emailing us please add \u201cMaryland Prepares\u201d to the subject line. If you tweet your story to @mdmema please include #MDPrepares. \u00a0We look forward to seeing your preparedness stories!<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MDMEMA<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/MDMEMA<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During the month of September, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Department of Homeland Security sponsor National Preparedness Month and promote activities that educate the public on how to prepare for emergencies. \u00a0This year, the Maryland Emergency Management Agency would like to spend the month of September recognizing individuals, families, and businesses that have been Read the Rest…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events-2"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
