Join REI for its third course in a three-part virtual event series on Emergency Preparedness Essentials. This three part series is designed to help you prepare for and respond to emergencies--including natural and human-made disasters. Learn the basics of identifying risks, prioritizing survival steps, planning for regional risks, preparing a "Go Bag," as well as sheltering in place throughout the whole series.Â
In this third session, "Hunkering Down," we will cover strategies to effectively shelter-in-place. Topics covered will include shelter specifics--making your home safe for sheltering in place--as well as food and water storage, seasonal and regional concerns, the stay-home kit, and how to locate resources in your area to help.
