Emergency Preparedness Workshops at 11am and 1pm
Emergencies can happen at any time and with our increasing reliance on digital technologies interruptions in service can present additional challenges.
This workshop will guide participants through planning for an emergency:
- what information do you need to have written down

Participants will also receive an emergency kit which includes:
- four days of storable food and water (MRE style)
- first aid kit
- hygiene kit
