Whether it be storms, fire or other emergencies - the City teams have programs, tools and plans that serve us all.  They host events that review all of these tools and take our questions.  A recent event under "Carmel Prepares" was held in the Carpenter Hall of Sunset Center, specifically on Saturday Sept 6th, 2024.
