Thank you everyone for making the Expo another success. We will post information about the next Expo later this year. Meanwhile, you can view 2024 Expo photos on Google Drive and videos on our YouTube channel.
Join your community for a fun, free day of emergency preparedness activities and training. The Fire and Earthquake Safety Expo is a unique, hands-on event to help Sonoma County be better prepared for the next wildfire and earthquake; you and your family, business, property, and pets/livestock.
The Expo is the largest in-person emergency preparedness event in Sonoma County. Bring the entire family and watch the look on your kids’ faces when they sit in a fire engine, run the little Firefighter obstacle course, or visit with animals. You will have the opportunity to:
- Learn from first responders and other experts
- Enjoy free giveaways & lunch (while supplies last)
- Experience Henry 1 and Sonoma County 1 helicopters in action
- Watch emergency demonstrations & live simulations
- Browse 60 exhibits + state-of-the-art products
- Feel an “earthquake” in the Shake Trailer
- Speak with experts in the Resilient Landscape Room
- Participate in kid’s activities
- And more.
Don’t miss our Earthquake Rescue (Disaster) Simulation, from 10:20 to 11:45 am, where first responders, and CERT and animal rescue volunteers will rescue and treat “injured” humans and animals. For more information, download the simulation PDF or view in browser.
Public education and training will be provided in both English and Spanish. Our event schedule coming soon. Meanwhile, follow our Facebook page for updates and to see more photos from our previous events.
