National Preparedness Month

National Preparedness Month is observed each September to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen at any time.

This September, Georgetown University will be hosting a variety of events to help you enhance your preparedness. We encourage you to join us at one or more of these events to learn about safety and emergency preparedness while enjoying free snacks and giveaways!
