Everyone’s life changed on September 11, 2001 when the reality of terrorism shook the United States with the events that occurred in New York, Washington and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

The term “preparedness” took on a whole new meaning for individuals, families, schools, and businesses, the local, state and federal government and especially pubic safety agencies.
