  • Challenge takes place throughout September

Register now for the 2015 Prepare Kansas online challenge and learn how to plan ahead for the most common emergencies we experience in Kansas – temperature extremes including drought, tornadoes, floods, and fire.

A little work now can make recovering less difficult. The program is broken down into a few activities to do each week, which makes it easier than if you’re trying to do many activities from a long list. Working on each activity gives families an opportunity to not only work together on becoming better prepared, but it can spark conversations about preparedness in general and the best ways to handle future emergencies.

This year tasks include creating an emergency supply kit, outfitting a grab-and-go bag for each family member, developing a family communication plan, and practicing a family fire drill.

Prepare Kansas is a FREE online preparedness challenge from K-State Research and Extension. The program focuses on a few activities every week during September.
