Each year on the third Tuesday in September, the American Public Health Association sponsors “Get Ready Day.” The timing of this observance is designed to coincide with National Preparedness Month. This year’s observance is scheduled for Tuesday, 18 September.
APHA’s “Get Ready” campaign is designed to help Americans prepare themselves, their families, and their communities for all disasters and hazards, including pandemic flu, infectious disease, and natural disasters.
