<div style="text-align: center;">NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS - BE READY!

<div style="text-align:center"><img alt="" height="369" src="https://longislandvolunteercenter.org/App_Client/common/directives/ckfinder/core/connector/aspx/connector.aspx?command=View&type=Images&langCode=en&hash=a8568084f876d065&CId=3361&FileName=E-Npo-qWEAQsEQ3.jpeg" width="656" /></div>
 
National Preparedness Month (NPM) is an observance each September to raise awareness about the 
importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen at any time. The 2021 theme is 
"Prepare to Protect. Preparing for disasters is protecting everyone you love." 
 
Make a Plan: <a href="https://www.ready.gov/plan">https://www.ready.gov/plan</a> 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div>

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that America was not prepared for a public health crisis. But when New York was ambushed by the virus, we rose to the occasion, supported each other, and bent the curve. Information - listening to the scientists and following the facts - has been a key weapon in our battle to defeat COVID.

To continue to empower New Yorkers, we are launching a new Citizen Public Health Training where you will learn from top experts from Cornell on preventing and responding to public health emergencies. This innovative course will help New Yorkers support themselves, their families, and their communities. You will become a leader of health and preparedness in your community.

We are calling on New Yorkers in every neighborhood and community in the state to become trained Public Health Leaders. As a New York State Public Health Leader, you will better understand the coronavirus and other public health issues facing our communities and will gain the tools to understand the facts and be a trusted source of information and support in your community.

New York's greatest asset is its people. Together, we can defeat COVID; prepare for the public health emergencies of the future; and build a more resilient, healthy, and loving New York.

Things to consider to prepare for future severe weather events:

Thank you for your interest in helping a community recover from a disaster. 
 
The best way that you can help is to be part of an organized effort that is working in coordination with local emergency response officials. 
 
It may take days or weeks after a disaster strikes to determine the true needs of the community, so PLEASE BE PATIENT. 
 
 
REMEMBER

DO NOT GO TO THE SCENE OF THE DISASTER 
The arrival of unexpected volunteers will interfere with response efforts. You could unsuspectingly put yourself and others at greater risk. 
 
VOLUNTEERS WILL BE MOST NEEDED DURING THE RECOVERY PHASE 
Please be patient and wait until community-based organizations are ready to use your assistance. 
 
THE NEED FOR DONATIONS OF IN-KIND GOODS WILL BE ADVERTISED 
Do not collect or donate goods unless there has been a specific need expressed and publicized by an organization supporting the recovery effort.

<div style="text-align: left;">Long Island Volunteer Center has had the opportunity to be the host site for AmeriCorps Community Emergency Preparedness Corps members for three years as part of our regional response to Superstorm Sandy. These members work in regions across the country to promote emergency preparedness in the communities they live and work in. Our AmeriCorps members worked in both Nassau and Suffolk Counties to engage a variety of populations in preparedness trainings and events and had a profound impact on Long Island communities.</div>
