Family Safety & Preparedness Expo

Educating yourself and your loved ones about any local or regional concerns that you may be at greater risk of may ensure that you are able to respond more effectively to any emergency situation. Lacking the instructions and understanding needed to respond to a disaster appropriately can be just as dangerous as failing to procure the resources and items you may need to rely on in such situations. Preparation efforts that will be able to provide you with the tools, opportunities and information needed to keep safe during the event of an emergency or natural disaster can offer you an important way to invest in the continued safety of yourself and those around you.  To help support Bridgeport and the surrounding communities in developing basic disaster preparedness steps, the City of Bridgeport will be hosting its first Family Safety & Preparedness Expo on September 21, 2013 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. at Bridgeport High School!
 
The Expo will be a gathering of experts who can share their knowledge and demonstrate products that will help residents feel more confident in their ability to care for themselves and the ones they love. Our vision is for the exhibits to be informational and hands-on and also have instructional discussions on all aspects of being ready for local disasters and emergencies.

It is the perfect event for the whole family and will include very important preparedness and public safety information, photo opportunities with emergency vehicles, giveaways, prizes and much more!
 
We will also have the Charleston National Weather Service conducting their SKYWARN Weather Spotter Training from 3 - 5 PM on site.  The National Weather Service relies on trained volunteers to supplement Doppler radar information on severe storms and tornadoes.  Their valuable cooperation is important in the warning process. Weather reports from trained spotters are used along with Doppler radar data to issue warnings of tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and flash floods. 
Date: 9/21/2013
Time: 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM
