“We started the Be Prepared Fair back in 2021 to offer residents a casual, fun environment where they could speak directly to the individuals responsible for their community’s safety,” said Yuba County Emergency Planner Sara Baggett. “There are invaluable resources at these events, so I highly encourage folks to bring their families and join us!”
