As part of National Preparedness Month, George Washington University hosted the GW Safety Expo this Wednesday, Sept 23 on University Yard.
The Expo featured safety information from GW Departments as well as local organizations, such as the District Department of Transportation, Metro Police Department, The American Red Cross and the DC Metro, whose representatives were handing out maps of the system and first aid kits. Other free giveaways included purified emergency water in a pouch as well as emergency Mylar Blankets, also known as Space Blankets.
Student Technology Services gave out free bouncy balls that light up, as well as toothbrushes--something students would never share--as a metaphorical reminder to never share your password either.
Perhaps the most popular station was our own Student Health Services, with information about the free flu shots on campus and ways to protect yourself against the flu.
