The city of Palmdale’s neighborhood services department will host a free emergency preparedness presentation on Tuesday, March 25, at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chamber, 38300 Sierra Hwy, Suite B.

“The recent ‘Shamrock Shaker’ quake in Los Angeles was yet another reminder of how vulnerable we are to earthquakes here in Southern California,” said Community Safety Supervisor Kelly Long. “Being properly prepared for an emergency is important and a must for all residents. This presentation will offer how-to information, educational presentations and materials on how to be properly prepared.”

Topics will include making a communications plan with your family, preparing children, the elderly and those with special needs as well as what to do if you need to evacuate your home.

“Most people don’t realize that if they’re properly prepared for an earthquake, they are prepared for most natural disasters,” Long added. “Being prepared is very important for Palmdale residents since the city sits on the San Andreas Fault line.”
