NEWPORT — Disaster can strike unexpectedly and in different ways – flooding, wind damage, earthquake and fire, to name a few. Are you prepared to survive an emergency? A free seminar this week will show how to be ready for the worst.
The seminar, Emergency Preparedness: Are You Ready, will be held Thursday, Sept. 26, at the Samaritan Center for Health Education at two different times — noon to 12:45 p.m. and 5:30 to 6:15 p.m.
At the seminar, information will be presented by Erik Maiorano, emergency management
coordinator for Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital, and personnel from Lincoln County Emergency Management. Topics will include personal and family preparedness before, during and after an emergency, go bag basics and vehicle emergency kits.
