Coastal Oregonians and friends, this Saturday, April 30th there is a Preparedness Fair taking place at Sunset Middle School from 9am ~ 3pm in the gym. There are numerous agencies who will be in attendance with relevant information for all us coastal dwellers in the event of a catastrophe on the scale of the Japanese tragedy. Participants include local Police and Fire departments, Coos County Emergency Management, US Coast Guard, Oregon Dept. of Geology to name a few. A special section of the information flyer says, "In addition to learning about how to manage an emergency event, representatives from Shelf Reliance will be on site to address issues surrounding home food storage and how to properly prepare foods for long term storage."
In the aftermath of such a situation like Japan, we here in Coos Bay would need 4-6 weeks of food to sustain ourselves before we would move up on the rescue priority list! 4-6 weeks!!! I know I have that much, but how about you? We will have a Fair special package of 3 months of basic freeze dried and dehydrated foods at a discounted price. We will also have freeze dried food samples, emergency items such as personal water filters and 72 hour kits to see and to order. Come by and say hello. If you are prepared, you need not fear.
You know it's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN!
