On Saturday Los Angeles County Supervisor District 3 Lindsey Horvath hosted an emergency preparedness event at Los Angeles Mission College in Sylmar, a day of information and hands-on activities to help residents “stay prepared for emergencies.”
“The Third District is one of the most disaster-prone regions in the nation, and communities in the East San Fernando Valley, including Sylmar, face real risks from earthquakes, extreme heat, wildfires, and power outages—risks underscored by last year’s Hurst Fire,” said Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath. “This event is about making sure everyone has the information, tools, and resources they need before an emergency happens. When communities are prepared, lives are protected, and that work is strongest when we do it together.”
Armida Ornelas, president of the Los Angeles Mission College, said, “Partnering with Supervisor Horvath and her office allows us to bring practical county resources directly to our campus and the Northeast San Fernando Valley. With preparedness remaining an important priority for our region, events like Get Ready, Stay Ready help our community members and their families build the knowledge and confidence they need to be ready for an emergency.”
