Danielle Swallow, Delaware Sea Grant coastal hazard specialist, will present a discussion on emergency preparedness together with an officer from the Bethany Beach Police Department.

Topics to be covered include weather-related risks and ways to develop an individual household emergency preparation plan; File of Life; emergency supply kits; Smart 911 emergency response system; evacuation and sheltering procedures; and tips for keeping pets safe.

The event is open to the public, but seating and parking is limited. Carpooling to the church is recommended. Attendees will receive a copy of the “Homeowner’s Handbook for Preparing for Natural Disasters,” while supplies last.
