October 2020 Community Meeting Summary

Tom Prussing reviewed A.D.A.P.T.’s Emergency Supply Checklists to show what supplies you should have on hand, and why they’re essential during an emergency.

In the Q&A, experts discussed a variety of topics such as: tips for communicating in an emergency, how long stored water lasts in a supply kit (1-2 years), what types of supplies are recommended for HOAs, how to store gasoline safely, Emergency Assembly Point (EAP) info, and more.

Special thanks to Police Sergeant Robbins and Mayor DeGolia for joining.
