March 21
All families
in Santa Clarita who have a family member with a disability or other
special need are invited to come to the Emergency Expo early on
Saturday, March 21, 2009. Enjoy some quality one-on-one time with the
first responders at the Expo before the event opens to the public. Help
your family member with special needs prepare for an emergency in a
quiet environment. The Access Hour is from 9:00 am to 10:00 am, a time
reserved only for families with a special needs family member of any
age, with any special need. The Expo is the College of the Canyons
parking lot.
Raise your comfort level, practice getting in an ambulance, know what to
expect in an emergency, and get your questions answered. There is lots
of cool equipment and hands-on fun. See the Special Needs Registry
pages, to help first responders be ready and informed to help your
special needs family member. Find out about Project Lifesaver, a safety
device for someone who might wander away from home.
You won't want to miss the Access Hour, the atmosphere is wonderful. The
Access Hour is sponsored by the City of Santa Clarita in collaboration
with the CLEAR project This is the 6th year that the City has offered
the Access Hour. It is a great opportunity to get ready for an emergency
and have some fun. If you can, stay for the public event that continues
from 10 am to 2 pm. For more information about the Access Hour, contact
Emily Iland at 661-297-4033. |
