Being prepared for emergencies : It is easier than you think
Online | Online
We will discuss why you should have an evacuation bag or be ready to be self sufficient for 72 hours. What are the most common risks, and how to prepare ahead of time? Where can you find information after an event? What are some of the items I should have ready? Where do I start? Most of us are already partially prepared, we just don't know it yet. We will discuss the steps you can take to be better prepared.

Dave Aalders
David has made it his mission to build the social infrastructure needed for a more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive community that is better prepared to face the challenging future that awaits all of us.
Whether it’s organizing the SupperNova multicultural potluck for almost 10 years, leading a neighborhood Joint Emergency Management volunteer team, or as co-founder of the Fairview Food Pantry Project, he strives to build connections between different segments of the community so that no one is left behind. All in a context of degrowing the economy through increased local economic activity and cooperation.
He uses his passion for Emergency Management, Business Continuity, climate change adaptation, and community building to assist organizations, and individuals better assess their risks and hazards in a changing climate. And make the changes needed to mitigate those risks to their organization or household.
He is a father of 2, a partner to Jen Graham, and a martial artist, thus far reaching a 2nd degree Black Belt at Chimo Tae Kwon Do.
Accessing autism resources can be a challenge, but it’s easier when you have partners and allies by your side. Connect with other parents, caregivers, and professionals in the autism community to share information, advice, and support. Together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive world for individuals with autism and their families.
