The third annual Emergency Preparedness Expo, hosted by the NDSU International Association of Emergency Management (IAEM) and the NDSU Emergency Management Program, will be held Thursday, Sept. 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Memorial Union Great room. The event will focus on providing information and education on hazard awareness and preparedness.

There will be a speaker session at 1:15 p.m. featuring local weather and emergency management speakers. Many campus and area organizations will be represented at the expo. NDSU emergency management students will show public service announcements created for their disaster preparedness class using a rubber duck theme. Rubber ducks will be given away.

Extra-credit sheets will be provided for faculty who would like to use the expo as an extra-credit opportunity. The form allows students to list five booths visited and one thing learned from each booth.

All those visiting the expo are encouraged to register for door prizes; you do not need to be present to win. A silent auction featuring donations from the community will benefit IAEM.
