Three Tasks to Tackle During National Preparedness Month

There's no time like September to prepare for emergencies or natural disasters. Every September since 2004, households across the United States have observed National Preparedness Month. It's a chance for homeowners to contemplate how they would handle an emergency situation, whether they face a severe weather event, a house fire, flooding, or a hazardous materials incident.

According to the National Household Survey, more than three-quarters of homeowners have supplies stocked up for potential disasters.
