September is NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH Since 2004, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Ready Campaign have promoted National Preparedness Month (NPM) every September. FEMA has defined a National Preparedness Goal for all types of disasters and emergencies. The goal is to be “a secure and resilient nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk.” These risks include natural hazards such as hurricanes and pandemic influenza, accidental hazards such as dam failures and chemical spills, and external threats such as acts of terrorism and cyber-attacks. The goal is organized into five components: 1. PREVENTION: Avoid, prevent or stop an imminent, threatened or actual act of terrorism. 2. PROTECTION: Protect our citizens, residents, visitors, assets, systems and networks against the greatest threats and hazards in a manner that allows our vital interests and way of life to thrive. 3. MITIGATION: Reduce the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. 4. RESPONSE: Respond quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs in the aftermath of an incident. 5. RECOVERY: Assist communities affected by an incident to recover through a focus on the timely restoration, strengthening and revitalization of infrastructure, housing and the economy, as well as the health, social, cultural, historical and environmental fabric of communities affected by an incident.

FCCI recognizes SAFE + SOUND WEEK: August 12-18, 2024 Safe + Sound Week is a nationwide event held each August and facilitated by the Occupational & Safety Health Administration (OSHA). It recognizes the successes of workplace health and safety programs and offers information and ideas on how to keep America's workers safe. Successful safety and health programs can proactively identify and manage workplace hazards before they cause injury or illness, improving sustainability and the bottom line. Safe workplaces are sound businesses. Every workplace should have a safety and health program that includes: MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP: A commitment from the top to implement a program and use it to drive continuous improvement in safety and health. WORKER PARTICIPATION: Effective safety and health programs tap into workers' collective experiences, knowledge and insights to find solutions to workplace safety and health challenges. SYSTEMATIC PROCESS: Every effective safety and health program has a process for identifying and controlling workplace hazards. #SafeAndSoundAtWork.
