Do 1 Thing

Everyone should work to prepare themselves and their families for emergencies. In an emergency, you may not be able to access services taken for granted every day. Thus, you are the only one who can ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones. If you prepare ahead of time, you will be better able to assist your family and others in the community.

Every Step Toward Preparedness Makes a Difference

Preparing for emergencies can be an overwhelming project. Tools are available to help you prepare one step at a time. 

Do 1 Thing is a web-based twelve-month preparedness program that focuses on a different area of emergency preparedness each month and provides a range of preparedness options for each topic.

Every month has a low or no-cost option to become better prepared. Each month, you are given a choice of three things you can do, then you choose one. If you do 1 thing each month, by the time a year has passed, you will have taken big steps towards being ready for the unknown.
