MONROE — Various first responders will show up at the Monroe Farmers’ Market Friday to help mark National Preparedness Month, which is September.
Emergency service workers will be on hand from 3 to 6 p.m. to help educate the public about emergencies, said Dave York, Monroe’s Emergency Management director. He said, every year during National Preparedness Month, emergency workers in town make public appearances, but this is the first time they’ve been to the Farmers’ Market.
National Preparedness Month is a time dedicated to teaching people to prepared for such disasters as hurricanes, flood and the like. York said with hurricane season underway and winter around the corner, it’s good time for residents to learn how to be ready for an emergency.
“It’s a timely topic,” he said.
The Monroe Farmers’ Market takes place at 7 Fan Hill Road. For information, call 203-452-2800, ext. 1088.
