Pasco County Emergency Management will host the 2024 Disaster Expo on April 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Pasco Safety Town, 15362 Alric Pottberg Road in Shady Hills.
The expo’s goal is to help prepare residents not only for hurricanes, but for other potential disasters, including tornadoes, flooding and wildfires that can happen in Pasco year-round.
“The safety of our community remains our foremost concern,” said Pasco Emergency Management Director Andy Fossa, in a news release.
“Pasco’s free Disaster Expo provides an invaluable opportunity for us to share vital information to help you and your family prepare,” said Fossa.
The upcoming event will offer assistance for residents to:
- Plan for evacuations
- Register for special needs assistance
- Protect their home or business
- Learn how to get involved
- Prepare go-kits for people and pets
Kids also can create go-kits and visit a touch-a-truck display while parents can speak with emergency management experts. Food trucks will be on site, as well.
Emergency Management’s 2024 Pasco County Disaster Preparedness Guide will be available for pick up.
