San Mateo – With wildfires growing ever-more intense and destructive, local emergency managers invite residents to learn how to prepare, how to stay safe and when and how to evacuate.
“Don’t be scared, be prepared” is the theme of Be Wildfire Safe & Ready scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 26th, at the San Mateo County Event Center.
“In the wake of the Los Angeles area wildfires, our residents have raised a lot of questions in case something similar would happen in our area,” said Dr. Shruti Dhapodkar, director of San Mateo County Emergency Management.
“I’ve heard interest in how to prepare a Go Bag, when and how to evacuate, how to prepare your children, what about one’s pets and what if you have limited mobility, for instance. We’re going to have first responders and experts on hand to answer those questions and much more,” Dhapodkar said.
The event will take place in Fiesta Hall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Parking and admission are free.
Organizers are planning a series of presentations and informal talks as well as resource tables. Look for further details as they develop in the coming weeks.
