Do you have your emergency kit packed and ready when disaster strikes? September is National Preparedness Month and a great time to make a plan for the unseen. Floods, fires, tornadoes, and power outages all pose a threat. Illinois Extension is offering a free community workshop to help you get prepared. Attendees will also receive a free duffel bag with essential items.

Space is limited and you must preregister. Call Angie Armstrong at the Robert Jones Public Library in Coal Valley at 309-799-3047.
