WHAT – Nassau County Legislator Olena Nicks (D – Uniondale) is proudly partnering with the Central Nassau Club of the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women’s Clubs; the Uniondale PAL, the Freeport-Roosevelt branch of the NAACP, and New York State to host a New York State Emergency Preparedness Workshop to the David S. Mack Center for Training and Intelligence in Uniondale on Sunday, Sept. 28.
Presented by the State’s Citizen Preparedness Corps, the workshops are designed to equip residents with the tools and resources to prepare for any type of natural or man-made disaster, respond accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. Each family participating will receive a free Citizen Preparedness Corps Response Starter Kit filled with emergency prep essentials like a radio, flashlight, batteries, freshwater packets, food packs, heavy-duty gloves, tarp, emergency blanket, water container, glow stick and whistle.
“Serving as a Uniondale firefighter for the last 14 years shown me time and again how important it is to be ready to respond to the unexpected at a moment’s notice,” Legislator Nicks said. “I am gratified to be working with New York State and this outstanding team of local partners to bring these essential resources to the communities we serve, and I encourage you to register today for a program that will give you and your family added peace of mind.”
