Do 1 Thing Fact Sheets |
What is Do 1 Thing?
Do 1 thing is a 12-month program that makes it
easier for you to prepare yourself, your family, and your community for
emergencies and disasters. Most people are aware of the need to prepare
for emergencies and disasters, but don't get started because emergency
preparedness is such a big job. The do1thing program breaks the job of
emergency preparedness into 12 smaller pieces:
Each month, the program focuses on one area of emergency preparedness ad
provides a variety of actions that you can take to become better
prepared. If you do 1 thing each month, by the time a year has passed,
you will have taken big steps towards preparing yourself, your family,
and your community for emergencies and disasters.
The program cycle repeats each year so you can jump in anytime.
