Join the Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN) for this month's professional development webinar entitled Let's Talk Fairs and Potential Disaster Situations!
What's your relationship with your county or state fair? Do you know who to call if the fairgrounds is needed for emergency shelter? How have you addressed the potential for animal disease outbreaks, zoonotic disease outbreaks or other emergency (and potentially disastrous) situations in planning sessions with your local or regional fair? This webinar will provide a high-level overview of the fair industry (county fairs, regional shows and exhibitions, and state fairs) in the United States to provide an awareness of the varying organizational structures across the country. This session will also identify several areas of risk which can be mitigated with education and training and the role Extension might play in that.
