In 2009 , the Safe America Foundation focused on getting businesses — medium-sized to large-sized — to organize emergency drills leading up to the anniversary of September 11 attacks . Safe America created 3 scenarios where businesses had to practice an emergency drill . These scenarios included a power outage , a flood , and a pandemic . The Safe America Foundation also conducted a national drill during a meeting in January 2009 in Chicago , IL . The meeting was hosted by Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA ) V Regional Administrator Edward Buikema . The organization also focused on creating the campaign around the FEMA 's 10 regional hubs . Safe America 's online '' Pledge to Drill '' form was also introduced in 2009 . The online campaign was promoted through Facebook and Twitter , with the 30-day blitz beginning in mid August 2009 . The campaign resulted in over 400,000 people participating in the program with support from over 20 firms
