We call it Day of Preparedness, and it’s the best time all year to meet with the trained volunteers and team leads at Bainbridge Prepares and its partners—the City of Bainbridge Island and the Fire Department—to learn how to prepare your household.

On Monday, August 25, four volunteers with the Bainbridge Prepares’ TechOps team deployed advanced drone and communications technologies to assist a joint wildfire training burn at the Bloedel Reserve.

It’s our tenth annual Day of Preparedness! Information booths, gear giveaways, door prizes. Take action and stop worrying.

Instead of filing your taxes at the last minute this year, why not attend the second session of the new Emergency Preparedness series at the library on April 15? The session will focus on Wildfire Prep and Mitigation. The presenter is Bainbridge Island Fire Department Chief Jared Moravec.

Tomorrow night, August 6, from 4 to 7 p.m. join your fellow citizens at the annual National Night Out celebration and information fair.
