Event Details

Join us each month to learn about disaster and emergency preparedness with Jefferson County’s Department of Emergency Management (DEM). Each class will focus on a different topic and provide important steps to prepare for emergencies. Miss one? Recorded presentations will be uploaded to the Emergency Preparedness Talks playlist.

In October, Get Ready for the Great ShakeOut! At 10:16 am on October 16th, take part in the annual Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill. Practice what to do in an earthquake: Drop, Cover, & Hold On!

Then, join us at the 3:30 pm program and listen to John Bethel, a retired geologist. He will explain:

  • Why earthquakes happen in Jefferson County.
  • The kinds of dangers earthquakes might cause here in our area.
  • How you and your family can make your home safer.
     

This talk is part of a team effort from many local groups that help our community stay safe during emergencies. Together, we’re all working to be prepared.
