When it comes to emergencies and disasters, it's not a question of IF, but WHEN. The additional requirements placed upon our Families are constantly increasing. In an emergency, you are required to utilize your ability to respond quickly. The next emergency can impact you and your family for an extended period of time.
The Emergency Preparedness Fair and Safety Saturday is part of National Preparedness Month (September) which is a “whole community" approach to disaster response. The fun-filled, family day event is designed to raise awareness about home safety and individual emergency preparedness. The preparedness and safety event features several awareness displays and demonstrations to help citizens see how a few simple steps now can increase safety and emergency preparedness in homes, businesses, and communities throughout the county. Emergency response vehicles and resources, such as bomb squad, Sheriff Posse, Search and Rescue Helicopters, Red Cross, United Way, pet preparedness, and other preparedness and safety organizations will be on-site LOTS OF HANDS ON THINGS TO DO CONCERNING DISASTER PREPAREDNESS...COME SEE ALL THE FIRST RESPONDER DISPLAYS...HELICOPTERS, FIRE TRUCKS, POLICE CARS, BOMB SQUAD AND MORE.Coffee County Emergency Management Agency (CCEMA) and Coffee County Community Emergency Response Team (CC-CERT)
