Officials with the county’s emergency services agency plan a lunchtime book club to focus on “The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes — And Why.”
Beginning on July 12 and continuing on the next seven Mondays, from noon to 1 p.m., readers can discuss the book on the sixth floor of the Public Services Center at 1300 Franklin St., near the Clark County Courthouse.
The book’s author is Amanda Ripley, a longtime Time Magazine writer who “has traveled the world studying disasters, natural and man-made,” according to a publicist’s statement.
Facilitating the discussions will be Cheryl Bledsoe and Beth Vaughn, emergency managers for Clark County and Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency, which operates the 911 center.
