2013 SHAKE OUT EXPO: Disaster/Emergency Preparedness Fair

LAKE ELSINORE TO SHAKE IT OUT!
Community Organization Helps Southwest Riverside County Prepare For “The Big One”

In a ongoing effort to raise public awareness of the critical importance for individual, families and communities to plan and prepare for the occurrence of a catastrophic disaster event such as a major earthquake, the City of Lake Elsinore and its volunteer CITIZEN CORPS organization will be staging its 4th annual SHAKE OUT EXPO on Saturday October 19th, 2013 from 10:00am to 3:00pm at Diamond Stadium, home of the Lake Elsinore STORM baseball team.

The SHAKE OUT EXPO is an admission free, “fun-festival” like public event designed to communicate through live presentations, hands on interactive demonstrations and exhibitions an essential knowledge for personal emergency disaster planning and preparedness.

Along with ongoing emergency preparedness demonstrations, informative guest speakers, exhibits and kid activities all attending the may participate in our interactive attraction “THE SEVEN STEPS TO EARTHQUAKE SAFETY”. Local CERT volunteers take our SHAKE OUT EXPO guests through seven safe and necessary emergency preparedness practices in a family fun way. Completing the SEVEN STEPS enters our guests in the EXPO’S hourly prize drawing for great emergency equipment and supplies.

Regionally based volunteer emergency response organizations such as CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) Ham Radio Operators from GTARC (Golden Triangle Radio Club) along with professional emergency responders CALFIRE, RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT, RIVERSIDE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH and LAKE ELSINORE CITY ADMINISTRATORS will be on hand at the SHAKE OUT EXPO to demonstrate and share their planning knowledge in emergency preparedness as well as answer questions on what the public should expect from first responders not if, but when disaster strikes.

"ARE YOU READY?  can say, "YES, WE ARE!"
