Get Ready for Anything: Burgaw Residents Can Learn Vital Post-Disaster Skills

BURGAW, N.C. – Trillium Health is taking proactive steps to help our community prepare for the unexpected. This month, they're hosting a comprehensive Post-Disaster Simulation at the Burgaw Middle School Gym, offering residents a unique opportunity to learn essential skills and navigate the challenges that can arise after a natural disaster or other emergency.

Why is this Simulation Important?

North Carolina, and particularly coastal communities like Burgaw, are vulnerable to a range of disasters, from hurricanes and flooding to severe storms and power outages. While we hope these events never occur, being prepared can significantly reduce the impact on individuals, families, and the community as a whole. This simulation isn’t about fear; it's about empowerment – equipping you with the knowledge and tools to respond effectively and safely.
