Wilsonville to Host Emergency Preparedness Fair on Sept. 17

August 22, 2022 – The City of Wilsonville is hosting a free Emergency Preparedness Fair on Saturday, Sept. 17, from 10 am to noon at the Stein-Boozier Barn at Memorial Park.

Preparedness experts from the City and several partners in Emergency Management will be on hand to provide a fun, family-friendly event that shared information, tips, and tools to get households more prepared to withstand a local or regional emergency.

Attendees can learn how to build an evacuation ‘go bag, learn home preparedness tips, and get simple checklists to make it easier to make an emergency plan, safeguard their homes, prepare their pets, and more. The event also includes useful giveaway items, and other interactive activities to promote individual and family preparedness.

Take the Go Bag Challenge! Win a Portable Phone Charger

As a preparedness incentive, the City is offering “The Go Bag Challenge!” The first 50 event attendees who show us a completed emergency ‘go bag’ (or show a suitable photo) receive a free battery-operated “Wilsonville Ready” cell phone charger.

The Emergency Preparedness Fair is a component of the City’s "Wilsonville Ready" campaign. This year-long effort is designed to help individuals and families become better equipped to endure the immediate aftermath of an emergency when access to critical resources – power, water, food, medical aid, plumbing, phone, internet, transportation, etc. – may be restricted.
