You can learn how to prepare for the impacts of emergencies through a local event this Saturday.
The Comox Valley Regional District has announced Come to Wildfire Community Preparedness Day, an event aiming to teach residents how to use tools and techniques to prepare your property and neighbourhood for the impacts of a disaster event.
They say the event comes ahead of Emergency Preparedness Week, an initiative focused on getting people prepared for emergencies.
The event will see fire and emergency services members onsite bringing activities and demonstrations, with tips for kids, adults, and pets also part of the day.
The district adds you’ll also get to learn how to build a more fire or drought resistant backyard area from a FireSmart landscape and plant specialist.
Event will take place at the Farmer’s Market on Headquarters Road, running from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
