“What Grandma Would Do” Roosevelt Preparedness Fair

by | Sep 13, 2016 | News | 0 comments


When faced with a disaster, emergency or hiccup in life many people wisely consider, “What would Grandma do in this situation?” That concept is behind a preparedness fair being held this week in Roosevelt and all in the community are invited to come learn something new. While there have been natural disasters affecting many Americans this year, event coordinator Tami Ferguson says preparedness is for so much more than major floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes. “I think this is an important subject right now in the Basin because we have seen how our economy is affected and community members are in need,” shares Tami. “If we work together as a community then we can pull together to be more provident in our living.” Tami also emphasized that the location of the Basin puts us at danger of being cut off from the food and supplies we are used to having delivered here by trucks. “This event is aimed at helping this community be prepared for any type of scenario.” The Preparedness Fair is being held this
