On Saturday, July 31, 2010, Lowcountry CERT your Community Emergency Response Team made up of 400 + volunteers, and Charleston County Emergency Management and is holding its third annual Ready Lowcountry, Emergency Awareness Expo.

 

We are inviting tri-county emergency services providers, EMS, Fire, Police, Volunteer Organizations and local businesses to set up and display the equipment used to save lives and promote their programs and contributions to the community.

 

Hurricane Season is June 1 to November 30, but emergencies and disasters are not limited to hurricanes or a specific time of year. They can occur anytime, anywhere.

 

The Ready Lowcountry Expo is tri-county partnership with government agencies, business and volunteer organizations to promote an all hazards approach to preparedness.

 

The purpose of this event is to provide a venue for the public learn about emergency preparedness and to meet their emergency responders, volunteer organizations and local businesses who respond before, during and after an emergency. Participation in this outdoor event is FREE.

Ready Lowcountry is a tri- county effort to localize the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) National Ready Campaign.

 

Ready Lowcountry will help individuals, families, businesses and children in the community prepare for all types of emergencies and to take care of themselves in the event of a disaster by encouraging everyone to just take these steps:

 

1.   Get a kit of emergency supplies

2.   Make a plan of what you will do

3.   Be informed about what might happen

4.   Get involved in preparing your community

Having a plan and the tools in place to make it on your own for a period of time can be crucial!
