Being prepared for an emergency is the best way to keep your family and friends safe in the event a disaster happens. The San Luis Obispo City Fire Department will hold a workshop on Thursday, September 12 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Library Community Room all about how to prepare for various types of emergencies. Fire Department staff will be on hand to answer questions and offer tips about all kinds of disaster from Power Shutdown, wildfires, pet safety, earthquakes, and more.
Preparing yourself and your home is essential. A good starting point for all disaster preparedness is to make sure you are prepared for 72 hours of self survival. Do you have enough food, water, medicine, batteries, cash, pet food, and other essential items that you can use in the absence of public utilities (electricity, water, and natural gas) for three or more days?
