Welcome to the Prepare Kansas online challenge for 2020! This year marks the eighth annual online challenge and to keep it fresh, we’re changing it up just a bit. We’re educators, so we’ll still feature educational content in blog posts. We will focus on a few preparedness actions each week. And, we’ll be here to offer motivation and encouragement as you and your family take actions throughout September to be prepared ahead of disasters and emergencies.
So what’s different this year? Because we know that thinking about and preparing for the sorts of disasters and emergencies that we experience in Kansas can be intimidating, we encourage you to Choose Your Challenge. You decide which of the five challenge actions you start with and the order that you’ll complete them. Maybe it will take you longer than a week to complete one of the challenges. Maybe you won’t complete all of them during the month. That’s OK. Getting started can sometimes be the biggest challenge of all.
