Autumn Preparedness Fair

2024.8.8(Thu)-9.3(Tue)
POTPURRI Shoin-jinja

We hope an emergency never comes, but a little preparation can help if it does.
Perhaps you are interested in preparing but unsure where to start, or wonder whether emergency supplies can fit into everyday life.
This event introduced thoughtfully designed items that fit into a room and can also be useful outdoors,
offering an approachable way to think about preparedness.

Hands-on sessions were scheduled for Sunday, August 25, 2024, at 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00, with water comparisons, preserved-food tastings and
opportunities to try emergency supplies—a starting point for thinking about your own preparations.
Bob Foundation, the designers of the featured emergency kits, were also scheduled to attend.
