Another Option To Be Part of Inauguration

Disability Power and Pride

Inaugural Ball

You are invited to join the disability community in commemorating the historic Inauguration of President Barack Obama with the first-ever Disability Power & Pride Inaugural Ball. Reflecting the growing strength and stature of the community – and celebrating Life Without Limits – the event will draw officials of the new administration and Members of Congress, along with hundreds of disability leaders, advocates and allies.

National Preparedness Month Unplugged

How about a National Preparedness Month Challenge Like No Other!

What would happen if there was a disaster? No power for an entire week?

Do you have food in your house that does not require power to cook? What would we do without a microwave oven? The world's greatest invention!

In honor of National Preparedness Month and to do something good for the environment (think Green), unplug your microwave on Wednesday, September 3!

Unplug it for the entire day, for just one day. Eat a home cooked meal with your family and discuss your family emergency plan.

Start here on Ready.gov to learn how to create a plan for your family.
