Chaffee County to Host Emergency Preparedness Fair in June

Chaffee County Public Health has announced plans for a countywide Community Emergency Preparedness Fair scheduled for June 9 at the Chaffee County Fairgrounds.

Community members are invited to attend the event to learn about available resources and services that can help residents prepare for emergencies such as wildfires and potential evacuations.

The fair will also feature panel sessions with local representatives who will answer questions related to emergency planning and preparedness.

In a press release, Chaffee County Public Health Director Andrea Carlstrom said, “As we anticipate an active wildfire season across Colorado, several local agencies started talking about the need to be proactive to equip our community with planning and preparedness resources, and this fair is one step to better protect the people of Chaffee County.”
