KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany \u2013 September is a month that brings a sense of renewal and purpose as many kids head back to school and we close out our fiscal year budgets. In September, we transition from warm summer days to the crisp air of early autumn. Students, families and government employees\/agencies approach September with a feeling of eager anticipation, reflecting on the past year, hopeful for new beginnings and the possibility\/opportunity to have the \u2018best year ever\u2019 in the Kaiserslautern Military Community (KMC).<\/p>\n

But September is more than new backpacks filled with hope and fiscal year-end close outs (also filled with hope). September is a month dedicated to community awareness, preparedness, safety, and security.<\/p>\n

September is National Preparedness Month, a time to remind our community to take proactive steps to safeguard themselves and their loved ones, especially in the face of potential emergencies. Shifting weather patterns make it crucial for community members to be prepared.<\/p>\n

Recall, for example, the flooding event that affected North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate caused by heavy rainfall in 2021 which resulted in a state of emergency declaration, hundreds of deaths and billions in damages.<\/p>\n

September is also National Insider Threat Awareness Month (NITAM), a time to remind the community about the importance of identifying and addressing potential insider threats across the national security community. During NITAM, federal agencies, departments, and industries work together to emphasize the importance of preparing the workforce to deter, detect and mitigate threats posed from trusted insiders.<\/p>\n

For the U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security (DPTMS) Protection Branch team, making these two campaigns meaningful to the community is paramount. To kickoff these important campaigns, two key members of the team Michael Harris, Emergency Management Specialist, and Marc Hartman, Special Agent, Army Counterintelligence, took to the radio airwaves on Sept. 6, joining the AFN Kaiserslautern crew on the Morning Magic broadcast show (105.1FM).<\/p>\n

Harris discussed National Preparedness Month in terms of emergency preparedness family planning, how to build an emergency kit and how to stay informed, highlighting the \u201cReady.gov\u201d website as a trusted and valuable resource.<\/p>\n

Hartman delved into the significance of NITAM, explaining what constitutes an \u201cinsider\u201d \u2013 anyone with or previously granted authorized access to classified or controlled unclassified information, as well as access to Department of Defense facilities or information network systems.<\/p>\n

But the USAG Rheinland-Pfalz team efforts didn\u2019t stop there. The team partnered with the Public Affairs Office to launch a social media awareness campaign, declaring Mondays as \u201cNational Preparedness Month Mondays,\u201d in which a fresh set of practical tips and information relating to National Preparedness are posted to USAG Rheinland-Pfalz\u2019s social media platforms. Thursdays throughout the month are designated as \u201cInsider Threat Thursdays\u201d where USAG Rheinland-Pfalz shares essential insights and messages about insider threat awareness on all the garrison\u2019s social media (be sure to like and follow \u2018U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz\u2019 on Facebook https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/army.rp<\/a> and Instagram, \u2018usag_rp\u2019)<\/p>\n

And, the USAG Rheinland-Pfalz commitment to community education and safety continues beyond the digital realm. The DPTMS Protection Branch team has informative tabletop displays set up in the Rhine Ordnance Barracks dining facility, ensuring anyone stopping in for one of their world-class meals, has access to vital preparedness and threat information, as well as some \u2018free swag\u2019 (and maybe some gummy bears too). Additionally, there are cardboard standees featuring life-size, familiar faces from across the garrison, strategically placed at locations throughout the community. The standees display interchangeable reminders of the importance of vigilance and preparedness.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about getting the information out to the community,\u201d said Dennis Mathis, Security Specialist, Protection Branch and awareness campaign coordinator for DPTMS. \u201cWe want to remind everyone to be vigilant at all times, be aware of your surroundings, make a plan for you and your family in case of emergencies and finally, know when, where and how to submit a report.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some important resources and things to know in reference to National Preparedness Month:<\/p>\n

Step 1: Build your emergency supply kit. Consider specific supply needs in your household (think ages of family members, dietary needs, medical needs, disabilities, pets, etc.).<\/p>\n

Step 2: Create a family emergency plan (great examples can be found at: https:\/\/www.ready.gov\/plan-form<\/a>). Discuss evacuation routes, family communications and practice with the whole family.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Stay informed!<\/p>\n
