6th Annual Emergency Preparedness Expo in Marion County a huge success!

Posted on by

Last week, the CIL hosted our 6th Annual Emergency Preparedness Expo for people with disabilities in Marion County and it was a huge success! It was attended by nearly 175 participants, 27 vendors (community-based organizations), and multiple emergency management and first responder agencies. The people in attendance were highly engaged, learned a lot, and accessed important resources to better prepare themselves for disasters.

Special thanks to all of our wonderful donors, vendors and speakers who helped make this event possible! Thank you for your continued support of people with disabilities in Marion County!

Great job to our Emergency Preparedness Team! We are very thankful for all of your hard work to deliver high-quality services for the community we serve!
