Disaster Preparedness in the Digital Age
Event has EndedAbout this Event
When a major earthquake or other disaster occurs, chances are that communications will be challenged. Cell towers may fall; electricity for TVs and computers could be out; media outlets may struggle to get out information and cell phone batteries will only last about a day without re-charging.
How will you find out critical emergency information from the City if phones, TVs, computers and the Internet don’t work?
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS….It’s not a matter of if but when our next disaster will occur. Learn how to build a disaster kit, make communications plans, and get trained to respond and recover.
Lisa Derderian of the Pasadena Fire Department dives into how to be prepared when disasters strike.
