September is #NationalPreparednessMonth 🌀 Preparing for natural disasters can greatly reduce risks to your health and the environment. The first step is to make a plan. 📝 ⚠️ Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area. 📵 Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. 📍 Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find.

ICYMI: EPA's Acting Deputy Administrator Jane Nishida and National Tribal Caucus Chair Gerald Wagner joined Tribal leaders at the 2024 National Tribal Operations Committee (NTOC) meeting this week! Discussion focused on how to increase Tribal capacity to implement environmental programs, with an emphasis on how EPA can assist Tribes by removing barriers to federal resources. We also discussed how Tribes and EPA can work together to address the adverse effects of #ClimateChange and challenges posed from emerging contaminants. As part of the occasion, we highlighted the 40th Anniversary of EPA's Indian Policy, which expresses our commitment to working with tribes and the belief that tribes are the appropriate entities to make #EnvironmentalPolicy decisions and manage programs for their reservation.
