Are you prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse? How about hurricanes, floods, or other natural disasters?  Get prepared at convention

On Friday, November 3, at 4PM at the convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Virginia, you will learn what happens during a crisis and how you can best be prepared to survive them. Even if you aren't afraid of zombies, there are plenty of real natural disasters you shouldn't ignore and should be prepared for.

In order to get you the latest information on local and national programs available to help you through the crisis, we have assembled a panel of experts who will tell us about those programs as well as answering your questions on how it will all affect you.

We have all seen in the news how devastating hurricanes and other disasters can be. The loss of property can cost billions and the loss of life tragic. So, don't be caught unawares. Come to the emergency Preparedness program on convention Friday at 4pm!
