Each September, emergency management agencies across the United States observe the month as “Emergency Preparedness Month” to highlight the need for everyone to be prepared for natural and man-made disasters of all kinds.Gov. Sam Brownback will hold a news conference at 10:30 a.m. Friday to sign a proclamation designating September as “Emergency Preparedness Month in Kansas.” As part of the month-long observance, the Kansas Division of Emergency Management is sponsoring an “Emergency Preparedness Day” Monday, Sept. 10, at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson.“The unpredictability of Kansas weather is a reminder of just how important it is to be prepared,” said Brownback.
