Community safety is the focus steering the Boynton Beach Mall’s 2018 Hurricane Expo, being held on Saturday, June 23 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The expo will bring together educational booths and interactive displays from the City of Boynton Beach and a number of its area partners, including the Coast Guard and the Red Cross, to host children and adults at the Boynton Beach Mall, located near the intersection of Congress Avenue and Old Boynton Road.
Participants will receive free tools and information about family preparedness plans, shelters, evacuation zones, emergency pet safety and more. Children can visit the touch-a-truck area and explore emergency vehicles, while also having the opportunity to interact with first responders and emergency personnel.
“We’re encouraged to host this fun, but very important event at the Boynton Beach Mall,” General Manger Edward Boylan said. “Hurricane Irma served as a strong reminder of how dangerous these storms can be. With another active season ahead, residents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about personal and family emergency preparedness.”
