Fairfax County Emergency Information has marked the final week of National Preparedness Month with the last entry in its Prep Tip Tuesday series, focused on how alerts can save lives.
The series covered four steps over the past four weeks: knowing your risk, making a plan, building a kit and protecting important documents. This week's step ties it all together: staying informed and looking out for the people around you.
The guidance was published on September 29, 2026, as the preparedness month drew to a close.
