Leif Albertson, driving an emergency vehicle during the 2024 Fourth of July parade in Bethel, will use his experiences as a first responder to discuss how people can prepare for emergency situations.
In a free, statewide webinar, learn how thoughtful preparedness can help keep you safe and healthy during emergencies and disasters, when fire departments and emergency medical services are stretched thin.
Leif Albertson, a health, home and family development agent with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service and a first responder, will discuss home emergency preparedness through the lens of his experiences. Understanding how these systems function will offer guidance on what you can do before, during and after emergencies to care for yourself and the people you care about.
The webinar is from noon-1 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 5. to complete the required registration.
