October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about breast cancer, the importance of early detection, and the impact this disease has on so many individuals and families.
According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Knowing your risk, paying attention to changes, and keeping up with recommended screenings can all play an important role in early detection.
This month, Medic 94 joins our community in recognizing those currently facing breast cancer, those who have overcome it, and the families, friends, caregivers, and healthcare professionals who support them.

National Preparedness Month: Build Your Emergency Kit
If you had to leave your home quickly, or spend several days without power or normal services, would you have what you need?
An emergency supply kit is an important part of being prepared. Ready.gov recommends gathering supplies before a disaster happens and having enough essentials to support your household for several days.
Start with the basics: water, nonperishable food, a flashlight, extra batteries, first-aid supplies, medications, cash, and a way to charge your phone. Then think about what your household specifically needs, including supplies for children, older adults, medical or mobility needs, and pets. You don’t have to build your kit all at once. Start with what you already have, add a few items at a time, and periodically check your supplies to make sure they’re ready when you need them.
Don’t wait until the emergency to gather what you need. More information and an emergency supply list are available at: https://www.ready.gov/kit
Build your kit. Be prepared. Stand Ready.
