Maureen Kasia with Coquitlam's HEROS program shows the contents of an earthquake kit, a pouch the city recommends residents and business owners keep handy.
Coquitlam has scheduled two additional emergency preparedness training sessions in response to the earthquake this month in Japan.
The first, called Personal, Family and Community Emergency Preparedness, will take place on April 6 while the second, Business Emergency Preparedness, will happen on April 13.
Both courses are free and run from 7 to 9 p.m. in the council chambers (3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam).
To register for a HEROS seminar, call 604-945-1578.
The next Personal Family Preparedness class in Port Coquitlam is May 10 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Fire Hall No.1. Call 604-927-5466 to register.
