National Preparedness Month Competition

September is National Preparedness Month! This year's theme is "Take Control in 1, 2, 3". The campaign will focus on preparing older adults for disasters, specifically those from communities disproportionally impacted by the all-hazard events that continue to threaten the nation. 

Waukesha County's Office of Emergency Management is hosting a National Preparedness Month Competition. The competition will test your personal preparedness knowledge through weekly quizzes issued each Wednesday!
