September is National Preparedness Month. FEMA's Ready.gov is encouraging everyone to plan how they would stay safe and communicate during disasters that can affect their community.

FirstNet is developing the first nationwide public safety broadband network to provide first responders the advanced communication and collaboration technologies they need to help them do their jobs safely and effectively.
