County set to host emergency preparedness fair

The Hays County Office of Emergency Services will host its fifth annual Emergency Preparedness Fair with the theme of “Ready. Prep. Go.”

The annual event will give attendees a chance to take classes, learn how to make a preparedness kit and hear from experts on how to get ready to face any emergency, including floods, freezes, tornadoes, hurricanes and fires.

“The fifth-year anniversary in marriages traditionally is for gifts made of wood, known for its strength,” Emergency Services Office Director Mike Jones said. “We’re helping to build a stronger, more resilient community through self-sufficiency,  preparedness and a willingness to take care of yourself and your family in the event of a disaster or emergency.”
