“Ready or Not? The Power of Conversations in Preparing for Disasters”  Please join us for a conversation about steps you and your family can take to be better prepared for emergencies and disasters. Presenters will familiarize participants with the individual and family emergency/communication plan, the important documents folder, the shelter-in-place kit, and the gobag - all important tools in preparedness and personal safety. Participants will walk through items to include in their shelter-in-place kit and go-bag and learn where items may be found or purchased.

Each participant will receive a free Go-Bag to take home and informational materials to support their health and safety, when planning for disasters and emergencies. One free “mini” shelter-in-place kit will be given away at the end of the session!

Facilitated by Pat Young, Chair of the Delaware Libraries and Disasters Initiative and Pat Heineman of the UD Center for Disability Studies.

The program is free and open to all.  Registration is required.  To register, visit greenwood.lib.de.us or call 302-855-1242.  When registering, please let library staff know if you would need any accommodations.

This program is designed to raise awareness of the need for disaster preparedness and to provide tools and tips to carry out that preparation.
