Lastly
It’s great that you can naturally learn evacuation movements and emergency tips while moving your body like at a sports day, isn’t it? You can also get hands-on practice with AEDs and rope work for when it really matters, and there will be disaster food tastings too. It sounds like all kinds of working vehicles will be there as well, so why not go enjoy it with family or friends?😄
