Now more than ever, we need to be prepared to act and do all we can to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our community when the unexpected happens. Although we may not know when the next crisis will occur — whether it be earthquake, wildfire, or flood — we know there are things we can do right now to make sure we remain safe and healthy.
The first 300 families to attend will receive a free emergency kit! *
Please join your neighbors and attend a day filled with great information and resources to help you better prepare for the next emergency.
Parking is limited. Public transportation is highly encouraged. The Ed Roberts Campus is located across Adeline Street from the Ashby BART Station and close to multiple AC Transit bus lines. Transit information can be found at: www.edrobertscampus.org/getting-here/ And visit www.bart.gov or www.actransit.org to help plan your trip.
* BACKPACK GIVEAWAY: the first 300 families to check in will receive a ticket for a free emergency backpack which can be picked up starting at 1:00pm until 2:00pm. FREE giveaway items (backpacks, lunch, Italian ice, workshop raffle tickets) are on a first come, first served basis and are subject to availability.
