Navajo County designates September 2025 as National Preparedness Month
Summary
The Board adopted a proclamation recognizing September 2025 as National Preparedness Month, urging residents to create emergency plans, assemble kits, and register for alerts under the 2025 theme 'A Lasting Legacy, the Life You've Built Is Worth Protecting.'
The Navajo County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 9, 2025 unanimously approved a proclamation declaring September 2025 as National Preparedness Month and called on residents to take steps to prepare for disasters and emergencies.
Katrina (public-health/emergency staff) read the proclamation, which outlined preparedness actions including making family plans, establishing communication strategies and evacuation routes, assembling emergency kits with nonperishable food, water and medications, and registering for emergency alerts. The proclamation referenced the 2025 theme, 'A Lasting Legacy, the Life You've Built Is Worth Protecting.'
Supervisors thanked Katrina for outreach work and emphasized community partnerships in preparedness efforts, including recent community outreach to Timberland Acres. Supervisor Weitzinger moved for approval; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
No follow-up funding or specific new programs were adopted in the meeting; the proclamation serves as an official, time-bound recognition and a public reminder for preparedness activities.
