No. 2 pencil, but No. 1 in preparedness This year, APHA's Get Ready campaign is getting some help from our furry and feathered friends as we spread the word about preparedness. We received more than 100 entries in this year's Get Ready Photo Contest, and we're sharing some of the cutest ones here. Thank you to everyone who shared photos with us we loved seeing them! With fun photos and captions and tips for preparing for disasters, the Get Ready Calendar is one you'll want to hang at your desk, post on your refrigerator and share with family and friends.
