This project, a partnership with the Griffin Fire Department, Griffin School District, the Red Cross and local emergency planning agencies, is described in somewhat more detail on our web site. On Saturday, September 27, the Thurston County Emergency Management Council will hold its Second Annual Emergency Preparedness Fair. This will include preparedness demonstrations, vendor booths and a lot of very useful information you can use to prepare for the inevitable. Whether its an earthquake, Avian Flu, or an extended power outage, a comprehensive event such as this one cannot be beat, as a way of preparing. Saturday, September 27 9AM to 4PM St. Martin's University Worthington Center & Pavilion 5300 Pacific Ave. SE, Lacey For more details about the Second Annual Emergency Preparedness Fair, contact Vivian Eason at 360-786-5243 or email her at <a href="mailto:easonv@co.thurston.wa.us">easonv@co.thurston.wa.us</a> Thurston County Emergency Management has useful online resources, to help you to begin your planning. <a href="http://www.co.thurston.wa.us/em/index.htm">Click here for that web page</a>.
