The first of two Emergency Preparedness Workshops held by NEMCo for Lake Forest Park and Kenmore are complete.

Thursday, October 8, 2020 33 residents participated in the 2-hour virtual workshop and on Saturday, October 10, 26 of them showed up on a very rainy day to complete the hands-on portion.

Five NEMCo volunteers were on site to assist with COVID screening and to help keep participants spread out in small groups.

Participants ran through a hands-on fire extinguisher training. They also covered utility shut offs and emergency supplies. The next workshop is scheduled for November 5th.
