Community Preparedness Seminars

First Aid "Round Robin" Seminar

Thursday, March 28, 7:00 PM, at South Davis Junior High School

Synopsis: In locales where water resources are uncertain, understanding the principles underlying gardening in difficult times, including the plants that do best in a variety of conditions, may be vital. This seminar, presented by Debbie West, certified nursery professional with more than 50 years’ experience, brings valuable insights to the topic. This seminar was presented to a live audience on March 21, 2023 at South Davis Junior High School

"Sanitation in a Disaster," a 5-part video series by Kathryn McMullin, is now available here:

Synopsis: Human waste is one of the deadliest substances on earth. Where sanitation is poor, death and disease are rampant. Our current systems for disposing of waste can be affected by many situations. If we lose water, we lose sewer. If we lose power for an extended time, we also lose sewer. In an earthquake or landslide, sewer lines can rupture. In each of these scenarios, our instincts might be to use a camp potty, an RV or even dig a pit latrine. These solutions are very dangerous if we don’t know how to properly set up and dispose of the waste. They will bring animals, vermin and insects into our environment that spread disease. Exposure to human waste will make your family very sick. This video series will educate you on all aspects of sanitation. You’ll learn how to prevent hydrogen sulfide from entering your home, how to set up a sanitary temporary bathroom as well as how to dispose of the waste. It is relevant to families, first responders, neighborhoods and communities. This Sanitation in a Disaster series promises to be eye-opening to even the most seasoned of emergency preparedness individuals.
