2023 Theme

2022 Theme

2021 Theme

National Preparedness Month  is an observance each September to raise awareness
about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could
happen at any time. 

In 2021, FEMA’s Ready Campaign and the Ad Council broke ground by producing the
first-ever national preparedness campaign specifically targeting the Latino
community for National Preparedness Month. Released during Hispanic Heritage
month, the advertisements centered around the Latino community’s commitment to
personal planning for occasions and family milestones as a bridge to also
planning for disasters.

This one-of-a-kind campaign is committed to putting people first and reaching
communities where they are. To continue these efforts, this year’s National
Preparedness Month campaign will feature a call to action for the Black and
African American community.

This year’s national public service announcements are being developed and will
be released throughout the country this September, to help get preparedness
information into the hands of those who live in underserved communities.


2023 THEME: TAKE CONTROL IN 1, 2, 3

The Ready Campaign’s 2023 National Preparedness Month theme is “Take Control in
1, 2, 3”. The campaign will focus on preparing older adults for disasters,
specifically older adults from communities that are disproportionally impacted
by the all-hazard events, which continue to threaten the nation.

We know older adults can face greater risks when it comes to the multitude of
extreme weather events and emergencies we now face, especially if they are
living alone, are low-income, have a disability, or live in rural areas.

Emergency managers and all those who work with and support older adult
communities to access the new webpage available in English and Spanish languages
at Ready.gov/older-adults and Ready.gov/es/adultos-mayores. For more information
on preparing with disabilities visit Ready.gov/disability or
Ready.gov/es/discapacidad in Spanish.
