The attendants were then invited to visit the various emergency awareness and preparedness outreach agency booths which were set up in the back of the room, where guests could receive additional materials, resources and information and interact further with representatives from the respective agencies that were represented at the event, as they also enjoyed refreshments and appetizers that were graciously provided the evening\u2019s co-hosts, the \u201cSosse\u201d Chapter of the Armenian Relief Society, which has served the social and educational needs of the Armenian community in the Pasadena area since 1974.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe were very pleased with and proud to host this Townhall,\u201d remarked Majarian.\u201cCollectively we put in a lot of time, energy and effort into this extremely important, informative and potentially life-saving emergency preparedness forum and thank all of our panelists\/presenters, guests, and attendees for taking the time out of their demanding schedules to attend and participate in this forum, but also my fellow Board of Directors Boghos Patatian and David Gevorkyan who lead its organizing committee and worked tirelessly to bring this event to fruition in such a way that that everyone who attended derived the maximum amount of information possible\u201d stated Majarian.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe most important aspect of dealing with emergencies or disasters is planning and preparedness. If you\u2019re prepared, you are ready, if you are ready, you don\u2019t panic, and if you don\u2019t panic you survive and are able to help others survive with you. It was our aim here tonight, that everyone who attended our forum, leave it with the confidence of knowing that they are now empowered with the information they need to be prepared for any coming disaster or emergency. In addition, our goal was to make sure individuals were able to meet and make new friends and familiarize themselves with leaders from throughout the City of Pasadena, whether they be from the city leadership, our neighborhood associations, civic activists, representatives from our City\u2019s protective services, all of whom were here and are wholeheartedly invested and committed to the advancement, safety, security and betterment of our beloved City of Pasadena,\u201d said Majarian.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In her comments, Veronica Verde, the External Affairs Officer for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IX thanked ANCA Pasadena, Congresswoman Judy Chu and other state and local representatives and commended the forum\u2019s organizers for its \u201cwhole community approach to emergency management that reinforces the fact that The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is only one part of our nation\u2019s emergency management team. Engaging the whole community and empowering local action helps build a more resilient community.\u201d Verde also urged the community to \u201cGet Ready Now. The likelihood that you and your family will recover from an emergency tomorrow often depends on the planning and preparation done today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Armenian National Committee of America \u2013 Pasadena Chapter is the oldest, largest and most influential Armenian-American grassroots organization of its kind within the City of Pasadena. Founded in 1982, the Pasadena ANCA advocates for the social, economic, cultural, and political rights of the city\u2019s thriving Armenian-American community and promotes increased civic service and
