8th Annual Valley Disaster Preparedness Fair Registration Starts July 1

Online registration for the 8th Annual Valley Disaster Preparedness Fair (the largest in Los Angeles) starts on July 1, 2015. Please encourage your stakeholders to register and attend! Everything at the Fair is free, thanks to our supporters and contributors, including many Neighborhood Councils. By registering online, Fairgoers who bring their emailed voucher to the Express Check-in lane at the Fair can exchange their voucher for a Family Emergency Preparedness (EP) Starter Kit (1 per family while supplies last). Online registrants will also receive Fair updates, directions, and a map, plus a free gift when they check in at the Fair.

The emailed Welcome Letter that registrants receive will include information about the registrant’s Council District and Neighborhood Council, specific to the address provided during the registration process. We invite NCs to write a short message (150-200 words) to your stakeholders that will be included in the Welcome Letter. (Thank you to the NCs who have already submitted their outreach messages.) This is a valuable opportunity to communicate with your stakeholders, to let them know what you are doing for the community, and to encourage them to get involved. All we need is your message, and we’ll take care of the rest. Please email your message to Bill Hopkins ([email protected]) by Monday, June 29.

In addition to this Welcome Letter outreach opportunity, you may also host an Outreach booth at the Fair.

For more details, contact Bill Hopkins, Valley Disaster Preparedness Team Chair at [email protected]. We expect 2,000 people to attend this year’s Fair. Don’t miss this great opportunity to communicate with your stakeholders.

Thank you for helping all our stakeholders get prepared for disasters.

The 8th Annual Valley Disaster Preparedness Fair will take place on Saturday, October 3, 2015 at Fire Station 87 in Granada Hills. Visit www.ValleyDisasterFair.com for more information and online registration. A Save The Date flyer can be downloaded here.
