Chaffee County Public Health Presents Emergency Preparedness & Go-Kit Distribution at The Buena Vista Library July 9th, 2024.

Chaffee County, CO- Chaffee County Public Health (CCPH) is excited to announce that due to high demand and sold out events in March and May, CCPH will be presenting a workshop on emergency preparedness and go- kit distribution open to all ages at the Buena Vista Public Library on July 9th from 12:00PM-1:00PM. The workshop will be presented by CCPH Emergency Preparedness and Response Coordinator, Sophia Gibb, and CCPH Director, Andrea Carlstrom.
The go-kits include essential items and necessary supplies that you can easily grab during an emergency.

Supplies include: flashlights, water bottles, and first aid kits. Recipients would put all supplies in a backpack or “Go-Bag” to easily grab in case of an emergency like a wildfire. There will also be information presented on evacuation checklists, insurance coverage, preparing pets for disaster, and much more. “Chaffee County Public Health is excited to be able to offer this presentation again, due to the high demand we had for both presentations. We are also excited to be heading to the north end of the county. It is crucial that every household has a go-kit ready in case of emergency. We hope that all Chaffee County residents who are interested in what to do and what to bring during an emergency will
register to attend. Free go-kits will be available for those who register for the event,” says Sophia Gibb, CCPH Emergency Preparedness and Response Coordinator.

For more information and to reserve your spot at the Emergency Preparedness Workshop and Go-Kit Distribution, please contact Sophia Gibb at sgibb@chaffeecounty.org or 719-207-6563. Space is limited to the first 40 people.
