南帕萨迪纳市将办首届应急准备与社区博览会，10月17日在消防局登场
南帕萨迪纳市——南帕萨迪纳市政府10月7日宣布，将于10月17日（周六）举办首届「应急准备与社区博览会」（Emergency Preparedness and Community Fair）。据南帕萨迪纳市政府官网发布的公告，活动时间为当天上午11时至下午3时，地点设在市消防局（817 Mound Avenue），面向全体居民开放，旨在把防灾知识与社区服务送到居民家门口。
市政府表示，这是本市首次举办此类综合博览会，居民可在现场向消防、警察与应急管理部门咨询地震、火灾等灾害的家庭应对方法，了解应急包准备、疏散路线与警报系统注册等实用信息，并与本地社区组织面对面交流。南加州地处地震带，近年山火季又不断延长，市府希望借博览会提升小城居民的防灾意识。
同日，市政府还公布了另外两项秋季社区安排：年度万圣节Boo Bash将于10月23日傍晚在橙树公园（815 Mission Street）举行；第31届全国处方药回收日则于10月24日在市警察局举行，居民可上交过期处方药。三项活动的详情均可在市政府官网新闻页查询。
南帕萨迪纳是圣盖博谷一座以林荫街道与历史建筑闻名的住宅小城，面积仅约3.4平方英里，市政厅、警察局与公共图书馆都集中在Mission街一带，邻里关系紧密，市政活动向来有较高的居民参与度。消防部门提醒，加州应急管理部门建议每个家庭备妥至少72小时的饮水、食物与药品，并预先约定灾后的集合地点与异地联系人；家中有长者、婴幼儿或宠物的家庭，更应把特殊需求列入自家应急计划。市政府表示，博览会当天消防局将开放参观部分设施与车辆，适合亲子共同参加；如遇恶劣天气，活动的调整安排将通过市政府官网与社交媒体提前发布，居民也可致电市政厅查询。

South Pasadena to Host First Emergency Preparedness and Community Fair on October 17
SOUTH PASADENA — The City of South Pasadena announced on October 7 that it will hold its first Emergency Preparedness and Community Fair on Saturday, October 17. According to the city's official announcement, the fair runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the South Pasadena Fire Department, 817 Mound Avenue, and is open to all residents, bringing disaster-readiness information and community services together in one place.
The city said the fair is the first of its kind locally: residents can ask fire, police and emergency-management staff how households should prepare for earthquakes, fires and other emergencies, and get practical guidance on emergency kits, evacuation routes and signing up for alert systems, alongside booths from local community organizations. With Southern California in earthquake country and wildfire seasons lengthening, officials said they hope the event raises readiness across the small city.
In the same day's announcements, the city also set its annual Halloween Boo Bash for the evening of October 23 at Orange Grove Park, 815 Mission Street, and the 31st National Prescription Drug Take Back Day for October 24 at the police department, where residents can turn in expired medications. Details of all three events are posted on the city's news page.
South Pasadena is a residential city in the San Gabriel Valley known for its tree-lined streets and historic buildings; at only about 3.4 square miles, with City Hall, the police department and the public library clustered along Mission Street, it has the close-knit feel that tends to draw strong turnout for city events. Fire officials note that state emergency guidance recommends every household keep at least 72 hours of water, food and medication, agree on a meeting place and an out-of-area contact in advance, and build the needs of seniors, infants and pets into the family plan. The city said parts of the fire station and its apparatus will be open for tours during the fair, making it a family-friendly outing; any weather-related changes will be posted on the city website and social channels, and residents can also call City Hall for updates.
