Free disaster preparedness workshop offered on March 27

FALLBROOK – The Foundation for Senior Care is presenting, in conjunction with Christ the King Lutheran Church, a Disaster Preparedness Workshop for older adults on Thursday, March 27 from 9 a.m. to noon. The workshop will be at the church, located at 1620 S. Stage Coach Lane, Fallbrook.

Not everyone is prepared for the next natural disaster; whether it is an earthquake or wildland fire, this workshop will be full of information to help them be ready in case of an emergency. Guest speakers include William Metcalf, fire chief of North County Fire, County Office of Emergency Services, Red Cross and a few others who will present valuable information on how to be prepared.

“Do you know what to do when faced with a natural disaster?” asked Dotty Metcalf, executive director of Foundation for Senior Care. “Attend this workshop and you will leave with handouts and much-needed information to help you prepare.”

A free breakfast buffet and free handouts will be provided for all attendees. To register for the workshop, call the Foundation for Senior Care at (760) 723-7570 and leave name, email, and phone number and how many people will be attending.
