Dare to Prepare Day is a one day event that helps to educate the public on what to do to when an emergency strikes. Dare to Prepare will provide awareness on a variety of disaster and emergency response situations, where being prepared, organized and ready to react can actually save many lives. Boating is a popular hobby in the Sacramento region and with the recent increase of rain, compared to last year, when the warm weather hits, many people take to the water.
