Healey proclaims September as Emergency Preparedness Month

Governor Maura Healey has proclaimed September 2024 to be Emergency Preparedness Month to highlight the importance of emergency preparedness and to encourage planning for disasters and other types of emergencies. 

“Massachusetts is strong, resilient and ready for anything that gets thrown at us. We understand that preparedness is a responsibility that we all share. That’s why I prepare,” said Governor Healey.

Over the next several weeks, MEMA, Massachusetts Department of Public Health and other emergency management partners will share important tips and information about how you and your family can stay safe during disasters and emergencies.
