4th Annual Coffee County Emergency Preparedness Fair and Safety SaturdayThe Coffee County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and Coffee County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), is hosting the 4th Annual "Emergency Preparedness Fair and Safety Saturday" September 5, 2015 at Enterprise Civic Center, 2401 Neil Metcalf Road, Enterprise, Al. from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. 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 the Arrive Alive Tour by Unite, mobile command post, bomb squad, hazardous materials vehicles, Sheriff Posse, Search and Rescue Helicopters, Bloodmobile, Red Cross, United Way, electrical safety, pet preparedness, “Fire Safety House” and many other outstanding preparedness and safety organizations will be on site.Free safety preparedness “how to” literature such as how to build an emergency supply kit and develop a family emergency communications plan will be distributed. Information regarding fire safety and prevention as well as information on preparing for natural disasters such as floods and tornadoes will be available. Upcoming training opportunities which promote community preparedness such as first aid, CPR and storm spotting classes will be announced. We hope the residents of Coffee County will make the time to stop by with their families and take advantage of this fun learning opportunity.For more information, please call the Coffee County EMA at 334-894-5415/5375 or CERT Coordinator Scotty Johnson at 334-806-1994 or at [email protected]
