Hello CERT Family!
Welcome to October 2021! Please do not relax your state of preparedness to handle tropical weather as things start to cool off, since October is one of the busier times during Hurricane Season! Please keep at least a 7-day supply of food, water, meds for humans and pets, cash money, and stay weather aware!
