The
city of Compton and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health
will be sponsoring a Community Emergency Preparedness Workshop at the
Crystal Hotel and Casino on Tuesday, July 8. The event is designed
to help community and faith-based organizations prepare for unexpected
disasters and remain functional during the recovery stage.
Jon Thompson, acting fire chief of the Compton Fire Department, stresses
that it is crucial for local organizations to be prepared and have
a disaster/continuity plan in place.
“Community-oriented organizations are a valuable asset in helping
people prepare for and respond to various emergencies,” he said. “Indeed,
Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that save family and friends, community
and faith-based organizations are where people turn to in times of
need. “
The workshop keynote speaker will be a Hurricane Katrina responder/community
leader from Louisiana, who will address best practices and lessons
learned from their community’s response to the storm and its
aftermath.
The Crystal Hotel and Casino is located at 123 E. Artesia Blvd. Registration
begins at 8:30 a.m. and the program will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. This event is free
for community partners and parking is provided. To register, visit
