Sign Up For Disaster Preparedness classes beginning Jan 8 via Zoom

Starting in January, Ann Forrest will present a series of Disaster Preparedness classes via Zoom. The first one is Jan 8th, and there are seven classes in total. All on Wednesdays 7:00pm to 7:30. The classes and materials are free.

Ann has been conducting these classes for years and has figured out the optimal format for teaching the information. Each class addresses a single topic and is no more than 30 mins long. Presenting the information in bite-sized pieces, one topic a week, is not as overwhelming and tends to result in more follow-through.

For reference or if you miss a class, they will all be recorded and made available on YouTube.

Sign up for the series here: Disaster Preparedness Series

The attachment lists the class schedule and the topics addressed.
