It's never too late to prepare for whatever may come our way this winter. Are you ready? Do you have a plan?
The Aquidneck Island Emergency Volunteer Alliance is bringing together the professionals who can help Aquidneck Island residents to connect to important resources when emergency services and information are needed the most. Participants will have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with emergency response personnel with questions and concerns, sign up for available services and are encouraged to join our efforts in becoming a local volunteer to respond when the need arises.
The event will be headlined by WJAR Channel 10 Chief Meteorologist Mark Searles who will provide important local and state weather information throughout the morning. Also joining us will be representatives from the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA),the Rhode Island Special Needs Registry (RISNER) from the Rhode Island Department of Health, the American Red Cross, National Grid, the Newport Ham Radio Club and Police and Fire Departments from Middletown, Newport and Portsmouth. As a special added feature, emergency vehicles from the around the state will be available for public viewing in the parking lot by the gymnasium entrance.
This event is free, family friendly and open to the public.
