Are you and your family prepared in the event of a disaster? Where do you go? Do you have enough supplies? How do you locate family and friends afterwards? September is National Emergency Preparedness Month and Rep. Don Bacon is hosting a free public event where you will learn the answers to these questions, and many more. Emergency Preparedness organizations and agencies will share information about how you and your family can prepare for and recover from an emergency or disaster.

This free event will be held at the Omaha Public Library, Millard Branch, 13214 Westwood Lane from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 21 and will include interactive activities for everyone including a smoke escape trailer from the Omaha Fire Department, police cruisers and information from 22 agencies.
