It’s National Preparedness Month which is an observance each September to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen at any time. So, get prepared:
Get informed (we suggest registering at NotifyJoCo for emergency alerts.)
Make a plan
Assemble a Kit
Maintain your kit
And, make sure there's a good book in that kit! Can we suggest a Post-apocalyptic fiction title?

We welcome back Gregg Winsor and friends to take a deep-dive into Post-apocalyptic fiction—a subgenre of science fiction where some disaster has occurred, and we discover IF the characters were … prepared.
Our Recommendations:  
Charles’ Choices: The Passage by Justin Cronin & Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton
Dave’s Double-feature: visit the streaming video section of our eLibrary—: On IndieFlix you’ll find a 14 minute Drama/Science Fiction film from 2022 called Riley. On Kanopy under one of our favorite categories—The Great Courses—learn about Great Utopian and Dystopian Works of Literature. 
From our catalog: Post-Apocalyptic Stories
