Be More Resilient in the Face of Emergencies!
Acton’s Emergency Preparedness Fair is an opportunity to learn a few basics about preparedness, including the types of emergencies we might expect in our area. Explore how residents can be ready for power outages and how to be more resilient in the face of weather extremes, such as windstorms, rain “training” and flash floods, heat waves, and even fire or hurricanes. Find out how to build a ‘go kit’, what supplies you might need to have on hand for different situations, and what extra preparations are needed for kids, pets, and older adults. Please come and share your questions with Town employees and local preparedness organizations.
The event features demonstrations, giveaway items, and preparation resources, along with free food and fun activities for the kids. Find us under the eaves at the NARA Park Bathhouse Pavilion, next to the beach.
In the aftermath of an emergency, access to critical supplies may be limited. Find out how we can be better prepared, not just as individuals and families, but as a community. Indeed, as other United States and international emergencies have shown, our changing climate means that we must learn to rely on each other in new ways. The Acton Emergency Preparedness Fair is way to strengthen communication and cooperation as we move forward.
This event is sponsored by various Acton Town departments–the Sustainability Office, the Fire Department, and the Health & Human Services Department. Come by rain or shine.
The NARA Park Bathhouse is located at the first parking lot next to the pond.
