The Sea Cliff Fire Department led an emergency preparedness workshop on July 31, providing tools and resources to prepare residents for natural or man-made disasters.
Each participating family received a free Citizen Preparedness Corps Response Starter Kit, which was filled with emergency prep essentials like a radio, flashlight, batteries, freshwater packets, food packs, heavy-duty gloves, tarp, emergency blanket, water container, glow stick, and whistle.
Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton partnered with New York State to host the workshop.
“In an unpredictable world, being prepared to respond to an emergency can be a tremendous source of comfort as we go about our daily lives,” DeRiggi-Whitton said. “By providing a step-by-step guide to best practices in emergency preparedness at their workshops, New York State’s Citizen Preparedness Corps is providing the public with a tremendous service that helps us keep our families safe, and I am so thankful to our partners at the State and the Sea Cliff Fire Department for bringing these valuable resources to our community.”
