Tuesday evening became a night of education, preparedness and community. Local businesses, organizations and management teams came together to showcase the importance of preventing and preparing for any kind of emergency. 🌩️⚠️🚨
With booths lining every wall of the Texas County Activity Center, over 75 attendees were able to discuss how to prevent and prepare for emergencies with demonstrations such as rollover simulations hosted by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, fire extinguisher demonstrations, emergency vehicles and equipment, weather utility, and family safety and preparedness resources for all ages provided by Tri-County Electric Cooperative, Inc. NWS- Amarillo, ODOT, the Oklahoma Geological Society and many more!
Professional Storm Chaser and Multimedia Journalist Jordan Hall spoke about severe weather, storm safety and preparedness. He also showcased videos from his experiences chasing storms around the nation. Additionally, Apollo Med Flight flew in and allowed the community to tour their life-saving helicopter, while educating their community on their resources.
