National Preparedness Month — Week 2: Support Your Community 🚒🤝 Being prepared isn’t just about taking care of ourselves—it’s about looking out for one another

For Week 2 of National Preparedness Month, Stafford Volunteer Fire Department is encouraging everyone to think beyond their own household and help build a stronger, more resilient community.

When an emergency impacts Stafford County, neighbors helping neighbors can make a tremendous difference.

🏠 Check on Your Neighbors — Know who around you may need extra assistance during an emergency, including older adults, individuals with disabilities, and those living alone.

🤝 Get Involved — Volunteer, participate in community programs, and learn about opportunities to help before, during, and after emergencies.

📢 Share Reliable Information — Help friends and family stay informed by sharing preparedness information and updates from trusted sources.

❤️ Build Community Resilience — Talk with your neighbors about emergency plans, available resources, and how you can support one another when it matters most.

Our firefighters and first responders will be there when you need us—but preparedness is a shared responsibility. The stronger and more connected our community is before an emergency, the better prepared we are to face it together.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors. A Stronger Community. A Safer Stafford.
