New Year Preparedness Checkup |
January is a natural time to pause, reset, and check in. A New Year Preparedness Checkup is a simple way to make sure you and your household are ready for emergencies in the year ahead.

Preparedness does not have to be overwhelming. A few small updates now can make a big difference later.
Start by reviewing what you already have in place. Do you know your local risks? Are your emergency alerts turned on? Can you quickly find your emergency kit if you need it? Take a few minutes to review emergency contact information and make sure phone numbers and meeting locations are still correct.
Changes happen throughout the year. New jobs, new schools, new phone numbers, or new pets can all impact your emergency plan. January is a great time to talk through your plan together, so everyone knows where to go and how to stay in touch if plans change.
Preparedness works best when it fits into everyday life. A short checkup now can help reduce stress and build confidence before the next emergency.
Learn how to review your risks, update your plans, and start the year prepared by visiting the Ready PA preparedness resources here.

| Stay Informed and Connected
|
Staying informed is one of the most important parts of preparedness. Knowing what is happening before, during, and after an emergency helps you make safe decisions for yourself and your family.
|
|
|
|
Emergency alerts and travel information tools provide timely updates about weather, road conditions, and public safety situations. Receiving alerts early allows you to adjust plans, avoid dangerous conditions, and stay aware of what is happening in your community.
Taking a few minutes to sign up for alerts and review how you receive information can help you stay connected all year long. Staying informed supports safer travel, better planning, and greater confidence when conditions change.
Stay in the know by signing up for alerts so you can get important updates when they matter most. Visit here for more information.
