Fire Preparedness
May 2024 Emergency Preparedness Workshop
In May C.A.N. hosted an Emergency Preparedness Workshop and Evacuation Route table-top exercise. For the table-top exercise, residents sat with neighbors and emergency responders to plan multiple evacuation routes from their home. You can do this at home and practice them regularly so that, if there is an emergency, you know more than one way out.
Below are links to the presentation and useful resources provided at the meeting.
