According to the town council, the presentation is best suited for individuals who consider themselves frail, seniors aged 60 and older, and persons with disabilities of any age who may feel or foresee the need for assistance in evacuating during a disaster.
Additionally, caregivers of any age caring for anyone of any age are encouraged to attend and receive a Ready Go Bag for a care recipient.
