Residents in Admaston/Bromley will get a crash course in emergency preparedness from a pair of local experts.
The township is hosting an upcoming disaster resilience session at the Barr Line Community Centre on December 2, featuring renowned community supporter Fred Blackstein and Renfrew County Paramedic Commander Steve Osipenko.
The pair will share practical information about preparing for an emergency, the importance of disaster preparedness and how to put together a 72-hour emergency kit.
The session is free and sponsored by Ontario’s Ministry of Emergency Preparedness and Response.
The event comes as Public Safety Canada joins officials in other countries in urging residents to keep enough supplies and essential goods on hand to get through three days without running water or electricity.
Interested residents can register by contacting the township office at 613-432-2885 or emailing info@admastonbromley.com.
