The Blanco River Regional Recovery Team is celebrating National Preparedness Month by introducing a new program “Prepare in a Year”. This program breaks the concept and process of personal preparedness into 52 weekly steps that individuals can take to become better prepared for disaster. This program walks participants through the process of developing a family preparedness plan, building a disaster kit, understanding disaster safety and first aid, training and integration of individual plans into improving overall community preparedness. It is loosely based off a concept developed in the Northwest, but is specifically adapted to the risk and challenges of Central Texas.

Each week, a preparedness message will be released on its weekly newsletter and can be followed at https://prepare365.blogspot.com/. For more information, contact Richard Hildreth, BR3T’s Communications VISTA at Richbr3T@aol.com or 253-347-8514
