Join REI for its final course in a three-part virtual event series on Emergency Preparedness Essentials in September. This three part series is designed to help you prepare for and respond to emergencies--including natural and man-made disasters. Learn the basics of identifying risks, prioritizing survival steps, planning for regional risks, preparing a "Go Bag," as well as sheltering in place throughout the whole series.Â
In this third session, "Hunkering Down," we will cover strategies to effectively shelter-in-place. Topics covered will include shelter specifics--making your home safe for sheltering in place--as well as food and water storage, seasonal and regional concerns, the stay-home kit, and how to locate resources in your area to help.
Register to receive the Zoom link for the final event in the series on Friday, Sept. 25 at 12 p.m. PT.Â
