A mobile command post display from the Department’s Emergency Operations Bureau will also be present.
From 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., the townhall portion of the evening will be in the school’s Performing Arts Center. Sheriff Robert Luna is scheduled to attend and give opening remarks. There will also be speakers from the Montrose Search and Rescue Team, Emergency Operation Bureau and CERT.
