Huntington Beach, California, September 3, 2025

Since 2004, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has recognized September as National Preparedness Month (NPM). It is an annual campaign dedicated to encouraging individuals, businesses, and institutions to take proactive steps in preparing for emergencies of all kinds.

Disasters come in many forms, from natural hazards such as earthquakes, wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes, to human-caused incidents, technological disruptions, and even global health crises like pandemics.

“In California, LA Testing has long served as a trusted partner in both disaster preparedness and response,” said Michael Chapman, Laboratory Manager of LA Testing’s Huntington Beach facility. “With multiple laboratories across the state, we provide environmental, industrial hygiene, indoor air quality, infection control, and material testing services. Our teams analyze samples for viruses, bacteria, fungi, chemicals, radiological hazards, and contaminants such as lead and asbestos.”

Beyond laboratory testing, LA Testing also supplies California businesses and institutions with critical resources including sampling supplies, test kits, air monitoring equipment, building inspection tools, and personal protective equipment. These tools help safeguard employees and the public while supporting business continuity during disruptive events.
