Will County EMA to Hold Public Preparedness Webinars in September

WILL COUNTY – As part of National Preparedness Month, the Will County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is hosting a series of 30-minute “Lunch and Learn” webinars focused on public preparedness in September. These sessions will provide practical information to residents aimed at enhancing safety and readiness in a variety of emergency situations.

“These webinars are a fast and easy way for residents to increase knowledge about keeping their family and home prepared for emergency situations,” said Will County EMA Director Allison Anderson. “This year’s National Preparedness Month theme is ‘Start a Conversation,’ which is exactly what we’re promoting with this series. We want Will County residents to begin thinking about preparedness and asking, ‘Are we prepared?’”

The webinars will take place from 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Wednesdays in September. Registration is required to attend, and there is no charge or prerequisite. Topics will vary week-to-week and a complete schedule of topics for the webinar series is as follows:

Sep. 4 - Emergency Readiness for Everyone: Meeting Diverse Needs and Special Considerations
Sep. 11 - Pets and Disasters...Are You Prepared?
Sep. 18 - Nuclear Safety
