Everyone should prepare for disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods, but how do we address emergency preparedness for our most vulnerable citizens? Those who are elderly, hearing and/or visually impaired, disabled, medically fragile, homeless, mentally challenged, poor, or do not speak English as a first language may be at great risk during a disaster. The second annual Clayton County Community Emergency Preparedness Seminar will take place on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Morrow Center, 1180 Southlake Circle, Suite 100, Morrow, GA 30260. This year's theme, "Making Vulnerable Populations Less Vulnerable," will help Clayton County address this issue with a day of informative presentations from leading subject matter experts and the makers of emergency preparedness products. What you will gain from this seminar: * Education about local emergency preparedness efforts and the latest advances in emergency preparedness; * Opportunities to develop partnerships with churches, schools, nonprofits, and private businesses that can help make our community safer; * Valuable information that can save your life and the lives of your loved ones. The seminar is FREE. Registered participants will receive a complimentary lunch, as well as emergency preparedness materials from participating vendors. State, county, and city officials, church leaders, business representatives, nonprofit organizations, and individual citizens are welcome to attend. To register or for more information, contact Doug Dugger at (678) 610-7467 or duggerf@dhr.state.ga.us.
