EVANSTON, IL - The Evanston Fire Department's Office of Emergency Management will host an Emergency Preparedness Fair on Saturday, October 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Evanston Township High School.

The Office of Emergency Management aims to bring awareness to human-created hazards and climate-related weather events, improve community resilience, and provide community members with the tools they need to minimize risks and stay safe during emergencies.
