The Community Preparedness Fair at Third Place Commons was a tremendous success, bringing together neighbors, partner agencies, and volunteers for a full day of engaging, hands-on learning. The enthusiasm throughout the event reflected our shared commitment to building a safer, more resilient community equipped with practical skills for emergencies and disasters.
NEMCo was proud to have 22 dedicated volunteers supporting the day's activities. We were also excited to welcome two new CERT trainees, who joined us at the event and are beginning their journey in community emergency preparedness.
Visitors had the opportunity to explore a variety of preparedness topics at NEMCo's educational stations, including:
Emergency communications
Water storage and purification
Sanitation and hygiene
First aid
Emergency "go bags"
Interactive demonstrations gave attendees valuable real-world experience and included:
Weather radio operation
Safe natural gas shutoff procedures
