This month’s topic is all about sharing emergency kits
VANCOUVER – The Clark County Commission on Aging continues the “Prepare in a Year” discussion series. This month’s topic is all about sharing emergency kits. Experts from CRESA, Clark County’s regional emergency services agency, will discuss the topic and answer questions from the audience.
The meeting will be 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 17.
Sharing an emergency kit is more than just having extra water and some additional food. It’s bringing others into your kit creation and planning. So, how can you include your friends and family members in your emergency kit? Along with the five basic priorities that go into your emergency kit, how do you share the key item: a positive mind set?
Thinking ahead to what you might need, who you might need, and how you can help others is part of sharing our kits.
The “Prepare in a Year” series continues on May 15 with a session on how to create an emergency plan.
