Tomorrow, Sept. 12, 2023, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell and TSA Administrator David Pekoske will hold a press event at Reagan National Airport (DCA) to announce their partnership and combined efforts during National Preparedness Month, including a new Public Service Announcement. At DCA, both leaders will issue a call to action to all travelers ahead of what will be another busy holiday travel season.
National Preparedness Month takes place every September, and during this month-long campaign, FEMA and its partners emphasize the importance of being ready when a disaster strikes, or when other emergencies occur. Every traveler who passes through TSA’s airport security checkpoints has been impacted by a weather or other emergency event. FEMA and TSA will announce steps they are taking to prepare and how travelers can prepare as well.
