Chaffee County Public Health is inviting residents to attend a county-wide Community Emergency Preparedness Fair at the Chaffee County Fairgrounds on June 9.

The event is designed to help community members learn about the resources, services, and planning tools available to prepare for emergencies such as wildfires and other situations that could require evacuation.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with local agencies and organizations, as well as participate in panel discussions where representatives will answer questions about emergency preparedness and community safety.

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.”

Organizers encourage all residents to attend and take advantage of the information and resources available to help prepare for future emergencies.
