September is National Preparedness Month. In September 2012, WRHSAC conducted an personal emergency preparedness awareness campaign throughout western Massachusetts. Awareness events were held throughout the region and WRHSAC had information booths at regional events such as the Tri County Fair, the Franklin County Fair, the Big E and Pittsfield’s Third Thursday. The month long campaign also served to raise awareness of WRHSAC’s emergency preparedness website Western Mass Ready, which was revised and updated in the summer of 2012.
