2 PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON PREPAREDNESS IS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY The theme for this year s annual Get Ready calendar, presidents of the United States, serves as a preparedness time capsule to help you prepare for disasters. After all, who better to help us get ready for emergencies than those who ve helped prepare the nation for centuries? While the nation chooses presidents to guide us, let s not forget that emergency preparedness is a team effort requiring the whole family to get involved and that includes the many first ladies who shared the White House. With fun photos and captions and tips for preparing for disasters, the Get Ready Calendar is one you ll want to hang at your desk, post on your refrigerator and share with family and friends. Download and print more copies from our website now! Launched in 2006, the American Public Health Association s Get Ready campaign helps Americans prepare themselves, their families and their communities for all disasters and hazards, including flu, infectious disease, natural disasters and other emergencies.
