Emergency Preparedness Fair Sept. 7

August 14, 2024 – The City of Wilsonville is hosting its third annual Emergency Preparedness Fair on Saturday, Sept. 7, from 10 am to noon at the Stein-Boozier Barn at Memorial Park.

Preparedness experts from the City and several partners in Emergency Management will be on hand to host a family-friendly, educational event that provides information, tips, and tools to get households more prepared to withstand a local or regional emergency.

Attendees can go station to station to get tips on several elements of preparedness, including how to store water, and put together an evacuation ‘go bag.’ preparedness tips, useful giveaway items, and simple checklists that make it easier to make an emergency plan, safeguard the home, protect their pets, and take other steps to become more prepared.

“Whether you’re just getting started or looking to take additional actions to become more prepared, you’ll learn something,” said Martin Montalvo, Emergency Operations manager. “Preparation is incremental, and every little step your able to take can make a difference.”

The Emergency Preparedness Fair is a component of the City’s "Wilsonville Ready" campaign. This year-round effort is designed to help individuals and families become better equipped to endure the immediate aftermath of an emergency when access to critical resources – power, water, food, medical aid, plumbing, phone, internet, transportation, etc. – may be restricted.
