MARIETTA – The Marietta Fire Department would like to remind the citizens of Marietta that September is National Preparedness Month.

The theme this year is “Prepared, Not Scared.” There will be a different focus for each week. The Marietta Fire Department asks you to take the time to look at each one of these and prepare accordingly within your own personal lives. Plan how to stay safe and communicate during the disasters that can affect your community.

Each week this month has a different theme:

Week 1: Sept 1-7th                    Save Early for Disaster Costs

Week 2: Sept 8-14th                  Make a Plan to Prepare for Disasters

Week 3: Sept 15-21nd               Teach Youth to Prepare for Disasters

Week 4: Sept 22-30th                Get Involved in Your Community’s Preparedness

Follow the City of Marietta on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to get helpful tips relating to each theme throughout the month of September from the Marietta Fire Department.
