City To Host Public Safety And Preparedness Expo In Malibu

MALIBU, CA — The City of Malibu and Public Safety Commission are hosting a Public Safety and Preparedness Expo on Saturday, June 15 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Trancas County Market shopping center. The expo will teach residents how to better prepare for wildfires, earthquakes and other disasters.

"The traditional fire season is coming fast," the City of Malibu press release said. "There couldn’t be a better time to get trained in first aid, learn how to make a family emergency plan, and stock up on the supplies you would need to survive without help for 72 hours or more."

The free event will be informative and fun; kids can learn about preparedness and see the Mini Therapy Horses that work with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the press release said.

There will be presentations and vendor booths from the Fire and Sheriff’s Departments, Red Cross, Office of Emergency Management, Malibu Search and Rescue, Malibu Cert team, Malibu Reserve Sheriffs, Volunteers on Patrol, LA County Animal Control, and Emergency Café emergency supplies.

The Trancas Country Market Shopping Center is located at 30745 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265. For more information, visit www.MalibuCity.org/SafetyExpo or call Public Safety Specialist Stephanie Berger at 310-456-2489, ext. 368 or email SBerger@MalibuCity.org.
