Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital will join other emergency agencies on Saturday, April 16 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Emergency Expo at Santa Clarita Central Park to help prepare the Santa Clarita Valley community for disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires, floods, etc. Henry Mayo is one of 13 Disaster Resource Centers in Los Angeles County.
The expo will feature displays, presentations and drills from local emergency response teams, as well as exhibitors with products and services for emergency preparedness, response and recovery.
Terry Stone, emergency preparedness manager at Henry Mayo, and her team will set up the hospital’s inflatable surge tent, which in times of disaster, would serve as triage and treatment areas, as an education area. Stone’s team will provide disaster planning guides and will lead education sessions about Map Your Neighborhood, a special program about how to be prepared as a neighborhood during disasters.
“The purpose of this program is to be prepared in your neighborhood in case of disaster,” Stone said. “Neighbors should be able to identify where everybody lives and where the assets are, not only survival supplies but also the human assets such as people with special training like firefighters and healthcare workers.”
Stone added that there will also be an interactive Wii System digital fire and extinguisher simulation set up near the surge tent for demonstration.
