The QST app, of course, requires a membership and allows the user to read online or download for later reading.

Here's two fine examples of how your ARRL is moving into the next decade.

National Preparedness Month #OKready #AltusOK #NPM13

Well, it's over.  It's another 11 months before the focus on Preparedness appears on your radar.

At the beginning of the month, you learned about #30days30ways.  You heard from +Craig Fugate talk about the Federal Emergency Management Agency talk about Ready Month.

During the month, the world experienced wildfire, earthquakes, floods, mall shootings, drought, measles, drills, exercises, and Local Emergency Planning Committee conferences.

National Preparedness Month is not a flash in the pan.  It's more than a month.  Preparedness is a lifestyle.

Efforts like First 24 Hours and Do One Thing continue the focus throughout the rest of the year.

The question is "Are you better off AFTER National Preparedness Month?".  If not, then why not?
