Day 203: Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency (CRESA) 9-1-1 Open House

Day 203 of 365…

I don’t believe it is possible to thank all of the Emergency Services individuals who give so sacrificially enough. The firefighters, paramedics, K-9’s, police, SWAT, divers, 911 operators, emergency management teams, volunteers, and on and on. They do so much that we don’t even see most of the time. As September 11th approaches we’re reminded of this once again… Guess what? We have an opportunity to have a fun time learning a ton of the things that they do for us locally and an opportunity to tell them thank you personally!

THIS Saturday, September 11th, 2010 is the Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency (CRESA) 9-1-1 Open House and we are all invited! It takes place between 11am and 2pm right at the CRESA building located at 710 W 13th Street, Vancouver, WA (behind the Public Service Center). In addition to all the awesome displays, vehicles and demonstrations they will be serving hot dogs and refreshments. :)

This is always my favorite demonstration!

You may RSVP on Facebook if you’d like. You can also connect to CRESA on Facebook and CRESA on Twitter!

Plus, as a BONUS CRESA is running an awesome challenge the entire month of September! No, it’s not too late to join in the fun (and education). CRESA is doing 30 Days, 30 Ways Preparedness Challenge which is:

We are excited to announce a fun community challenge called 30 Days, 30Ways to celebrate National Preparedness Month 2010.

Each day in September, CRESA is going to post an activity-based challenge which will take everyone who plays one step closer towards being more resilient as a community and ready to face the next crisis.

Who Can Play?
Anyone can play. In fact, we encourage EVERYONE to play along in this fun challenge. Even if you don’t complete all 30 days of challenges, by simply doing some of these activities, you may find yourself thinking about emergencies differently.

These challenges are fun and get you thinking about your own “preparedness” in the event of emergency or disaster. They’ll challenge you and hopefully teach you to think a little different (yes I have drinking water in my car). ;) I encourage you to click through the CRESA link and start “playing”. You really can catch up on the challenges. Get over and get started and share with you friends too.

Let us never forget… 9-11-2001
