CJHRC Webinar: Disaster Planning and Resources
2026-05-06 16:00 - 17:15 (America/New_York) | Virtual Event
Disasters do not send a calendar invite. Do you have an emergency plan should a natural disaster strike? While we cannot predict every emergency, we can certainly prepare for them.
Central Jersey Housing Resource Center (CJHRC) has scheduled a free Disaster Planning & Resources webinar being conducted from 4 to 5:15 p.m. Wednesday, May 6. This session is designed to help participants understand the risks, create an emergency plan, and learn about the tools and resources available during weather-related emergencies.
Presenters for this program are Lisa Galonardo, United Way of Northern New Jersey, and Sharon Clark, with the CJRHC.
