September will always be the National Preparedness Month and—despite the Federal Emergency Management Administration launching the annual observance in 2004—the message doesn’t seem to be resonating within local governments. This year, there’s even more reason they should heed the warning. August 29 was the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimates claimed 1,833 lives in Louisiana and nearby states.
