As part of National Preparedness Month, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is focusing more attention on disaster preparedness and encouraging Texans to take practical action toward protecting themselves, their families and their businesses.
This year’s theme, “Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare,” seeks to increase public awareness on how to protect against, prepare for and recover from an emergency or disaster.
Objective, research-based information is available, typically at no cost, from AgriLife, according to AgriLife Today. Materials are available through agency personnel in county offices throughout the state, as well as Texas Extension Disaster Education Network (Texas EDEN). Many materials from Texas EDEN may also be downloaded to mobile devices.
