LYNNWOOD—South County Fire invites you to learn how to prepare and care for your family in different types of emergencies, including natural disasters. Join us at the Emergency Preparedness Expo on Saturday, Sept. 21, 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Community Life Center, 19820 Scriber Lake Rd, Lynnwood.
This free event will include activities for all ages to learn lifesaving skills including response to fires, earthquakes, and other disasters. Emergency professionals from across Snohomish County and the State of Washington will be there to answer your preparedness questions. Visitors can also pick up a free Narcan kit courtesy of Verdant Health Commission, while supplies last. Complete a bingo card and be entered to win one of several prize drawings.
“Natural disasters and emergencies can happen at any time, and learning how to be prepared to keep yourself, your loved ones and your property safe can make a difference,” said South County Fire Community Outreach Manager Shawneri Guzman. “We hope many people are able to attend because being prepared for disasters can reduce fear, anxiety, and most importantly, prevent loss of life and property.”
The Emergency Preparedness Expo is presented by South County Fire in partnership with the City of Brier, City of Edmonds, City of Lynnwood, City of Mill Creek, and City of Mountlake Terrace. Learn more at southsnofire.org/events.
South County Fire provides fire and emergency medical services to nearly 300,000 residents of Brier, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace and unincorporated southwest Snohomish County.
