From September 7 through the morning of September 11, searchlights will illuminate the sky above the Downtown to depict the Twin Towers. Take a moment with family, friends or neighbors to catch a glimpse of the light display so that we may never forget.

Preparing for disasters is protecting everyone you love.” Each week this month, the campaign will focus on a different aspect of preparedness for individuals, families and communities.
