September is National Preparedness Month, and in Kansas, being prepared means being ready for just about anything Mother Nature throws our way.
It may still feel like summer outside, but fall weather, and eventually winter, is right around the corner. If you’re flying during Kansas’ ever-changing weather seasons, keep an eye on the forecast, check your airline’s app for updates, and give yourself plenty of time to get to ICT.
A little preparation can go a long way toward a smoother travel day! ✈️
The first challenge of, "Preparing Sedgwick County, One Step at a Time," is here! Sedgwick County Emergency Management encourages you to stay informed with what's happening in your community. Choose one of our options options below to improve how you receive emergency information. You can:
- Learn about the hazards that impact Sedgwick County
- Sign up for Civic Ready emergency notifications at https://www.sedgwickcounty.org/emergency-management/civic-ready-alerts/
- Add another warning source, such as Wireless Emergency Alerts, NOAA Weather Radio, official National Weather Service information or local media.
Knowing your risks and having more than one way to receive warnings can help you make safer decisions during an emergency.
