The City of West Hollywood is promoting September as National Preparedness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about disaster preparedness. This year’s theme, _Start a Conversation_, encourages community members to engage in discussions about emergency plans with their families and neighbors. The city highlights the importance of including pets in these discussions, ensuring that all family members are accounted for in times of crisis. Residents can find comprehensive resources on the federal website ready. gov, which outlines essential steps like making a plan, building an emergency kit, and protecting property.

The site also provides toolkits in various languages to help facilitate conversations about preparedness within the community. Furthermore, the City of West Hollywood offers additional safety tips through its public safety website. For those seeking more information, the Emergency Management Coordinator is available for contact. By fostering awareness and preparedness, the city aims to enhance community resilience in the face of emergencies.
