A Message from the NJHCC
As National Preparedness Month 2025 begins, the New Jersey Healthcare Coalitions (NJHCC) would like to take this opportunity to recognize the vital role healthcare professionals play in safeguarding both their communities and their families. This year’s national theme, “Preparedness Starts at Home,” reminds us that the resilience we bring to our workplaces begins with strong preparedness at home.
Throughout September, NJHCC will share weekly themed messaging with resources, training, and stories from Ready.gov to help strengthen preparedness both personally and professionally. By ensuring our homes and families are ready, we build a stronger foundation for the critical work we do in our facilities and communities every day.
Ready Campaign’s 2025 National Preparedness Month Focus
Ready.gov encourages individuals and families to take simple, actionable steps at home to prepare for disasters and emergencies, everything from creating a family communication plan to assembling an emergency supply kit. These small efforts make a significant impact when crises arise. Explore Ready.gov’s emergency plan resources: National Preparedness Month | Ready.gov
