National PrepareAthon! Day, celebrated on April 30th, is a day when people in the U.S. learn how to stay safe during emergencies like storms, earthquakes, or floods. Families, schools, and even whole communities come together to practice what to do if something unexpected happens. It's a bit like a safety drill at school, but for all kinds of emergencies. This helps everyone know the best ways to keep themselves and others safe. By preparing together, people feel more ready and less scared if something does happen.
