The weather in North Texas is unpredictable and can change in an instant. North Texans can never be too prepared for the natural disasters that may impact the region. In an effort to help residents and businesses be better prepared for severe weather and natural disasters, Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (TX-26), is hosting the fourth annual Emergency Preparedness Summit & Fair on Saturday, April 14 in Denton.

In addition, there will be a fair with demonstrations and booths where weather and disaster specific organizations will present and distribute practical emergency information. The event will open at 8 a.m. with access to the fair, and presentations will begin at 8:30 a.m. Chief Meteorologist for Fox 4, Dan Henry, will deliver the keynote address.
