Citizens will never know when a natural disaster could occur but knowing your family has the necessities on hand will help to keep everyone in the household safe. The Wellington LDS Stake Center on 935 East Main Street is helping families in the area by offering a free Emergency Preparedness Fair.

The event will take place on Saturday, April 21 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm and offer various classes to help families get disaster ready. There will be ten courses offered, Water and Personnel Hygiene, Communications, Shelter & Light, 72 hr./ and 92 hr. emergency kits, Herbal Medicine, Basic Necessities, Cooking & Fuel, Clothing, Food storage & use and Medical Know How.

Emergency preparedness takes the entire family and this fair is a perfect way for a household to learn about getting prepared for self-sufficiency in case of an emergency or natural disaster.
