Burlingame Residents Practice Preparedness

Burlingame residents gathered for an practice drill over the weekend.

Are you ready for an emergency?

Over the weekend, nearly 40 people from Neighborhood Network groups throughout Burlingame gathered together for a practice emergency drill, put on by the Victoria Neighborhood Network.

The group worked through the steps of creating a base before breaking into teams and combing the area. Participants found flags in front of houses describing the incidents they could expect to find.
