Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin and Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath—who both represent Pacific Palisades and beyond—have partnered to host the “Be Prepared Safety Fair” on Saturday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Calabasas.
The event is slated to include presentations from area entities, including Resource Conservation District on home hardening for fires at 10:15 a.m., Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, Los Angeles County Fire Department, Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Services and “earthquake expert” Margret Vinci from CalTech on earthquake preparedness at 12:15 p.m.
There will also be a COVID-19 vaccine clinic, blood pressure checks, Narcan education and hands-only CPR demonstrations.
“Events like this are important to the community so they become aware of the resources available to help prepare for natural disasters such as fires, floods and earthquakes,” Irwin said in a statement. “With the help of the resources we’ve gathered, residents will be provided with the information necessary to help them protect their homes and families during the next emergency.”
Lost Hills Sheriff’s Captain Jennifer Seetoo will host storytime at 10:30 a.m. with a reading of “Star’s Great Adventure: Becoming a Deputy Sheriff,” alongside a mini therapy horse. There will also be a “number of emergency response vehicles” from LA County Sheriff’s Department, LACoFD, CalFire, Animal Control and the City of Calabasas for a touch-a-truck.
The safety fair will take place at the Calabasas Community Center, located at 27040 Malibu Hills Road.
