The San Ramon Valley United Methodist Church will be teaming up with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff, and Bay Area Red Cross to sponsor Disaster Preparedness Day from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday, July 29.
The general public is encouraged to attend in order to learn how to prepare for local disasters, including fires, floods and earthquakes. Professionals will be on hand to provide basic disaster information and sell earthquake kits, water purification filters, and emergency radios. All families attending will receive a free information packet.
Members from the police and fire departments will set up booths with disaster response equipment and will advise attendees on how they should respond to a disaster. The event will be held at the church, 902 Danville Blvd., Alamo. For more information, visit www.srvumc.org or call 837-5243.
