Join us for free, interactive courses to learn about disaster preparedness, building from the basics. This is open to the entire community.

Prepare U – North Bay is designed to be appropriate for everyone, and will focus on personal preparedness, organizational preparedness, Incident Command System, and much more.

This is designed to build and tie topics together, so we strongly encourage participants to attend all sessions, if possible — even though each course topic can also work independently. Courses will start promptly at their start time. Please arrive on time!

We will convene on three days, from 11:15 AM to 4:45 PM on 27-29 April (Monday through Wednesday).

Classes will meet in person at the Solano County Events Center (601 Texas St, Fairfield, CA 94533), in Conference Room B.

There are no prerequisites, and a certificate of participation will be provided.
