More than 140 government agencies and vendors will provide information this weekend about emergency responses in case of a disaster.
The city of Los Angeles will sponsor the eighth annual Emergency Preparedness Fair, which is scheduled to begin today at Griffith Park’s L.A. Zoo parking lot, said Linda Aparicio, spokeswoman for the City Emergency Organization.
Mayor Richard Riordan and Police Chief Bernard Parks will appear today and Fire Chief William Bamattre will appear Saturday, Aparicio said.
Demonstrations will include skills involved in water rescues and the use of dogs. LAPD’s bomb squad and dive team will also provide demonstrations during the free fair, which will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
