PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – June 21, 2017 – The Calvert County Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Management will be hosting a public workshop Tuesday, June 27, 7-8:30 p.m., to discuss all hazards, natural and man-made, that residents might face and offer tips on how to prepare for them. Citizens are encouraged to attend the workshop at Calvert Pines Senior Center, located at 450 West Dares Beach Road in Prince Frederick.
