The Disaster Preparedness Workshop (formally known as Survivor Day) is set for Saturday, September 7, 2019! The Office of Emergency Management will host the annual Regional Workshop where residents can learn how to live safely through natural disasters and other emergencies, like hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, blizzard, active threat and more. Residents will learn how to survive in their homes without power for at least 72 hours, and they’ll find out what to take with them should they need to leave in a hurry. Upon completing the training each household will receive a FREE disaster preparedness backpack to include supplies. Emergency and Community Response professionals will teach residents the best ways to prepare for those life threatening situations.
