The 5th Annual San Mateo County Disaster Preparedness Day is Saturday, September 12, 2009 from 10am-2pm. This year, the county-wide event will be held at South San Francisco High School, 400 B Street, in South San Francisco.

In addition to preparedness instructions, booths, emergency vehicle and
equipment displays and demonstrations and a basic CPR course, speakers will
specifically address the needs of pets, seniors and those with disabilities.

Plus, there will be an H1N1 flu virus update, and helicopters are expected
from the California Department of Forestry, the US Coast Guard and
Lifeflight. The aircraft have always been a crowd favorite, especially
during landings and take-offs.

As in previous years, the event is free, with a free gift for the first 500
families and free hot dogs and soft drinks for everyone. It's a great,
family-oriented, fun and educational event.

If you have any questions, please contact the sheriff's Office of Emergency Services at 650-363-4790.
