PennReady Event: Protecting Communities Through Resilience and Relationships
You are invited! Join us on Friday, September 27th as Public Safety provides a day of activities on safety, preparedness, and community risk reduction along with our many campus partners!
The PennReady event will begin with a Speaker Series on Community Risk Reduction (CCR) from 10am-11:30am, followed by a Health and Safety Fair from 11:30am-2:30pm. The Safety Fair will include a test of the UPennAlert emergency notification system at 12pm, followed by a special side-by-side burn demonstration at 12:30pm which will show the speed and power of a residential fire, along with the impact of fire sprinklers.
First responders will be on site to share education on CPR and stop-the-bleed first aid, free food and giveaways, as well as many partners on hand to share safety and wellness information with the community. Participants and supporters include the Penn Vet Working Dog Center, Penn Dining, MERT, Penn’s Office of Risk Management, the Philadelphia Fire Department, The National Fire Sprinkler Association, and many, many more!
