Are you ready for the 2023 hurricane season?
It’s never too early to start getting ready for hurricanes and other potential disasters, including flooding, tornadoes and wildfires.
Pasco’s 2023 Disaster Expo offers a convenient way for residents and business owners to find out how they can protect themselves from potential disasters and how to respond if a disaster threatens or strikes, according to a news release from Pasco County.
Pasco County Emergency Management will host the family friendly expo on April 29 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
The event will be held at Veterans Memorial Park, at 14333 Hicks Road, in Hudson.
Pasco Emergency Management Director Andy Fossa is inviting the community to the event to help those attending learn important ways to keep themselves safe and to protect their property.
“We encourage you to join us on April 29 for this free, interactive event, so you can prepare now,” he said in the release.
