 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter. September is National Preparedness Month and the Navy wants to make sure you are ready. Emergencies can happen without warning and the Ready Navy program is designed to provide you with the resources and tools you need to be prepared. www.ready.navy.mil. It's a website designed solely for sailors or family members and you can virtually find information on almost any kind of threat or hazard. It will walk you through a process of staying aware during a threat or a crisis. Preparedness is key to survival in any type of disaster. Get a kit, make a plan and be informed. Visit the Ready Navy website for more information and checklists on how to be better prepared.
