The classes will be held in both Los Altos and Los Altos Hills.
Are you and your family prepared to deal with the aftermath of a major earthquake, wildfire or other disaster?
Residents are expected to be self-sufficient for 72-hours following a disaster. Can you shut-off the natural gas at your home? Do you have enough food and water on hand for every member of your family?
A Personal Emergency Preparedness course designed to prepare you to cope in the event of a disaster will be held next month. The classes are free.
