Community comes out, enjoys Emergency Preparedness Fair

The West Point community gathered at the Post Exchange parking lot to receive insight and enjoy a day of festivities during the annual Emergency Preparedness Fair Saturday at the U.S. Military Academy. Hosted by the U.S. Army Garrison West Point and the Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security, various teams put together 23 static displays representing different emergency response organizations ranging from Rockland County HAZMAT to the American Red Cross. People of all ages went from one display to another, receiving the most optimal strategies to prepare for various emergencies while enjoying demonstrations, trying out HAZMAT suits, and discussing the finer points on what it takes for emergency organizations to prepare and defend against any and all threats.
