Learn why it is important to prepare, how to prepare, and disasters common to our area.

It is always a good time to plan and prepare for things that may go wrong. You want to have a plan in place before there is a disaster. With the recent increase in natural disasters and hurricane season starting in September, now is a good time to get information to prepare for possible emergencies in the upcoming months. Please join us for an emergency preparedness presentation that will focus on giving you information on why it is important to prepare, how to prepare, and disasters common to our area.

This presentation is offered by the Somerset County Office of Aging and Disability Services. The Office provides information and assistance to seniors and their caregivers with connecting to programs, resources, and assisting with completing assistance applications.

Registration is appreciated but not required. This is an on-site, in-person program. If you have any questions regarding the library’s COVID-19 policies and programming, please call us at 732-873-8700 x 111. The library reserves the right to reschedule programs.
