If you had to stay in your home for a few days, would you have what you need to stay safe? If you had to leave your home suddenly, without time to pack, would you be ready?
September is National Preparedness Month and the City of Philadelphia Managing Director’s Office of Emergency Management (MDO-OEM) offers the following free Emergency Preparedness Workshop for the public:
Thursday, Sept. 24 at 6:00 p.m.
24th and 25th Police Districts, 3901 Whitaker Avenue (Rain date: Oct. 20)
“During the workshop you will learn how to Shelter in Place, become familiar with your neighborhood evacuation routes, know what emergency supplies and copies of important documents you should have ready, and find out how to stay informed during an emergency,” said Deputy Managing Director for Emergency Management MaryAnn E. Tierney.
Join us at this workshop for presentations by the America Red Cross, the Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management, and the Philadelphia Department of Public Health.
