They will provide information on how to keep families ready for an emergency, how to know what certain emergency sirens mean and how to build a 72-hour emergency kit.<\/p>\n A lot of work for an emergency happens before the emergency begins, Lemley said, which makes an event like this important.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we find in the world of preparedness is: You don\u2019t know what you don\u2019t know,\u201d Lemley said.\u00a0<\/p>\n While the evening is dedicated to learning, there will be fun activities for adults and children.\u00a0<\/p>\n The city\u2019s neighborhood block party<\/a> trailer and the Arlington Police Department\u2019s GameUp 5-0<\/a> video game trailer will be at the pavilion alongside food trucks, Lemley said.\u00a0<\/p>\n A limited number of free NOAA Weather Radios, which allow the National Weather Service to provide weather alerts straight into a home through the radio, will be given away at the event\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re asleep at night, the radio can wake you up, and that can be the central point of warning,\u201d Lemley said.<\/p>\n The action starts at 5:30 p.m., and the movie begins at 7:30 p.m. Lemley says she hopes that the lessons and positive tone of the movie can resonate with people.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe hope that by preparing people, they can leave being more informed and on a positive note,\u201d Lemley said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Chris Moss is a reporting fellow for the Arlington Report.
