Posted by on August 21st, 2009 | 4 comments
The Home Depot store 4413 near Salt Lake City, UT hosted an Emergency Preparedness and Safety Fair this summer. The community is on the Wasatch Fault, and neighbors need to be prepared for earthquake-related emergencies.Shawn, a Hardware associate at 4413, partnered with four township councils to showcase equipment and family emergency planning. The K-9 unit demonstrated its prowess, and fire officials taught fairgoers how to douse a fire with a home fire extinguisher. Rocky Mountain Power showed a scale model of dangerous downed electrical lines and the best ways to avoid a tragic accident.
“More than 400 customers and community members stopped by,” said Shawn. The mayor of Salt Lake County was among the attendees.
Plans are underway for another fair next year.
