Be a Prepper!

LaGrange County Public Library
Tuesday, May 6
6:00 p.m.

We all know that spring is the season for storms and floods, and we need to be prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws at us this year.
But there are other things we worry about late at night, when the kids are in bed:
 What if there’s another terrorist attack?
 What if there's an accident at the Cook nuclear plant?
 What if there’s an earthquake along the New Madrid fault?
 What if the electricity goes out for a week or more?
 Could we survive “off the grid”?
 Do we have enough food and water on hand?

Those are important questions, and you’re not the only one asking them. Come get answers from someone who knows! Learn what you would need to survive for 4-7 days in case of a major emergency.

Knowledgeable presenters from the Red Cross will help you sort through the hazards and make sensible preparations to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Wouldn’t you like to be a Prepper too?
