ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The City of Rochester held a free class on Thursday night to help people prepare in case of an emergency, like a natural disaster or house fire.
The Citizen Preparedness Training Program took place at the David Gantt R-Center on North Street. Members of the New York National Guard gave instructions on how to prepare for all sorts of emergency situations. Organizers say it’s all about making Rochester a safer place to live.
“They’ll talk about various forms of events,” said Fred Rion, director of emergency management for the City of Rochester. “So there’s weather-related events. They talk about fire. They talk about other types of events and what citizens can do to be prepared for those events: take care of themselves, take care of their neighbors, take care of the community.”
Everyone who came got a free backpack full of emergency supplies, including batteries, flashlights, and blankets. The city plans to schedule more of these training programs later this year.
