Texas\u2019 weather is unpredictable, especially in the last few months of the year. Arlington is looking to equip residents for situations like this with Preparedness in the Park. <\/p>\n

The free event is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at Levitt Pavilion. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to take preparations at any point in the year, but September is the reason we hold this event because it\u2019s National Preparedness Month,\u201d city spokesperson Susan Schrock said. <\/p>\n

Arlington emergency officials will teach attendees how to make a 72-hour emergency kit, how to create a family emergency plan, how to sign up for wireless alerts and how outdoor warning sirens work. <\/p>\n

Schrock said it\u2019s important to be prepared since unpredictable things can happen. Storms can cause power outages, floods and more. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also a good time to remember to make preparations for your pets, so while you need food and water in an emergency, your pets also need the same,\u201d Schrock said. <\/p>\n

Additionally, attendees can enjoy food trucks and an emergency kit giveaway for the first 25 guests to visit every booth and fill out their bingo card. <\/p>\n
