In accordance with National Preparedness Month, the City of Mesquite Office of Emergency Management is hosting the 4th annual Preparedness @ the Park event. Come see the first responder vehicles, a bomb robot demonstration, a DPS helicopter and an abundant amount of information on how citizens of all ages can become better prepared plus much more!
