Stay Safe: Emergency Preparedness Event

Nathanial Goodman, Freeport Chief of Police; Robert Bernard, Freeport Fire Chief; and Matthew Yeaton with Cumberland County Emergency Management Agency will speak at our upcoming event, Stay Safe, about their roles in the event of a disaster and what individuals can do to prepare on their own.

“People of all ages and walks of life are concerned about safety in a disaster, and we aim to reach as many people as possible on this important topic,” said Marie O’Donnell, Age-Friendly Freeport & Pownal coordinator.

As extreme weather becomes more common and other events have impacted our communities in recent years, Freeport Community Services’ Age-Friendly Freeport and Pownal invites community members to hear from experts about preparations for emergencies.

“We believe our community will benefit from having that conversation and everyone being on the same page in the event of an emergency,” said Sarah Lundin, FCS executive director. “We all need to be working on this together.”

Each presenter will speak for about 15 minutes, and there will be about 20 mins of Q & A at the end.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided. This event is free and open to the community. Join us in the Bradley Room at Freeport Community Center, 53 Depot St., Freeport, on Tues., Nov. 19, from 5 to 6:30pm.
