It’s Daylight Savings Time!

Since Congress enacted the Uniform Time Act of 1966, all states except Arizona and Hawaii have observed Daylight Savings Time (DST). On October 29th, 2006, most people in the USA accordingly set their clocks back one hour. Encourage everyone to use DST as a reminder to update their preparedness twice a year – and lead by example!

Check (and, if necessary, replace) your fire extinguisher, smoke detector batteries, and emergency food, water and other perishables. Making preparedness a habit - in simple, routine ways - helps to build a culture of safety.

** Note that in 2007, the dates of DST will change, starting earlier (March) and ending later (November). **
