Washington, D.C. – Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX) today announced he will host the sixth annual Emergency Preparedness Summit and Fair this Saturday, April 25, 2014. The summit and fair will take place at Lewisville High School’s Harmon Campus from 8 a.m. until noon. 

“I am looking forward to another successful and informative summit this weekend,” Burgess said. “With the severe weather we have had in North Texas recently, this summit is more timely than ever. It’s never too late to prepare yourself and your family for a natural disaster. This fair will equip you and your family with the tools and information necessary to face any disastrous situation.”

The event will include presentations on tornado readiness, school safety, wildfires and West Nile Virus. It will also include an indoor and outdoor fair with live demonstrations and booths that will be fun and informative for the whole family. Meteorologist Larry Mowry from CBS Channel 11 News will deliver the keynote address, and representatives from the National Weather Service and local government officials and emergency responders will be in attendance.
