Public Safety Fair on Oct. 19 will offer tips for surviving disasters

SEQUIM — Private and public agencies will tell about community resources available after personal and family life changes or natural or man-made widespread disasters at the Sequim Public Safety Fair on Saturday, Oct. 19.

The Sequim Police Department and Clallam Fire District No. 3 will host the fair at the Guy Cole Convention Center at Carrie Blake Park, 202 N. Blake Ave., from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Attendees can collect information about assistance programs ranging from Medicare and other senior issues to Clallam County Juvenile Services and understanding the Affordable Care Act.

Emergency and support vehicles from Fire District No. 3, the Sequim Police Department and the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office will be on display outside the convention center.

Retired Detective Myrle Carner of Washington’s Most Wanted and Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound will have the WAMW 335-horsepower Chevy Camaro at the event.

Certified child-passenger safety seat technicians will host a child-seat inspection station in the parking lot just south of the Guy Cole center.

Parents and grandparents may have safety seats inspected for proper fit and installation.

Helicopter to land

Members of Airlift Northwest will land a medical transport helicopter outside of the convention center at about 11 a.m.

The crew will be available to answer questions and talk about their service and the equipment before returning to their base at about 3 p.m.

The Sequim Police Department will have about 50 bicycle and skateboard helmets available free to children 18 or younger, as well as developmentally disabled adults, who live within the Sequim School District boundaries.

The helmet recipient must be at the event so the helmet can be properly fitted.
