Disaster Preparedness: Pack a To-Go Bag - Tuesday, September 16, 2025 @ 10 am – 12 noon (in-person)

Most disasters are unexpected and can happen quickly, leaving little
time to react. That’s why it’s crucial to pack essential items for each
member of your household and store them in an Emergency Go-Bag.

An Emergency Go-Bag contains vital supplies to help you and your
family stay safe and survive during any type of disaster or
emergency situation. Being prepared can make all the difference
when every second counts.
