Do you know what to do in the event of an emergency? Have you ever asked yourself these questions? *How do I put together an emergency preparedness kit and what should be in it? *How much water should I have on hand? *If I have to leave my home quickly, what would I take? *If I have to go to a shelter, what will I do with my pets? *What should I include in a family emergency plan? The Allen County Safety and Preparedness Fair can provide you with guidance and tools to help you answer those questions and others. Booths will have information on emergency kit essentials — safe food and water, communication sources, home safety, fire extinguisher use, shutting off natural gas, smoke detectors, pet safety, and much more. Also, demonstration vehicles including firetrucks, and a demonstration trailer will be on hand to show families how to address many hazards, including a home/kitchen fire. The Allen County Safety and Preparedness Fair will be held on Saturday, September 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Jefferson Pointe.
