Find out what you need to do to prepare for any disaster.

Learn how you can help the elderly, children, and your pets.

Purchase a disaster preparedness kit or learn how to make one.

The fair is FREE and is chock full of good classes and great information.

Puget Sound Energy, The Red Cross, The City of Kirkland, The Kirkland Senior Council, The City of Redmond, and King County Emergency Management are just some of the organizations participating in this all important information fair.

I will be there as a member of the Kirkland Senior Council.  Our group will distribute a free checklist with valuable advice to help prepare seniors and caregivers.  The checklist, entitled “Just In Case,” has been developed by the U.S Administration on Aging. 

The Senior Council is also sponsoring the Vial of Life program.  The Vial of Life is a free program which includes a package with a list of important medical data.  This package can be posted on your refrigerator and is available in times of crisis to first responders.  Stickers can be posted on your front door to let first responders know you have a Vial of Life Package on your refrigerator.

Come on down to Evergreen Hospital.  The fair is in the main lobby of the hospital which is located off the parking garage.  Have questions?  Call 425-899-3000 or go online to Evergreen Hospital’s website.
