Disaster Preparedness: To Go Bag – September 16, 2025, at 10 am - The Friendship Auditorium

Most disasters are unexpected and can happen quickly, leaving little time to react. That’s why it’s crucial to pack essential items for each member of your household and store them in an Emergency Go-Bag. An Emergency Go-Bag contains vital supplies to help you, and your family stay safe and survive during any type of disaster or emergency situation. Being prepared can make all the difference when every second counts.
