NPR Summer Kickoff: Touch-a-Truck & Hurricane Expo

The City of New Port Richey is welcoming summer with an expanded version of the New Port Richey Public Library’s annual Touch-a-Truck event.

This family-friendly tradition, designed to spark excitement for the Summer Library Challenge, will now include the City’s Hurricane Expo, offering vital preparedness resources and expert guidance ahead of storm season.

The Library’s Touch-a-Truck event has become synonymous with the start of summer, and gives families an opportunity to explore firetrucks, police vehicles, and other large service vehicles up close. Inside and outside the Library, guests can enjoy food trucks, face painting, hands-on activities, giveaways, and more! It is also a great opportunity to register for the Summer Library Challenge, which keeps readers of all ages engaged throughout the summer.

The Hurricane Expo will provide critical information on storm preparedness, featuring a presentation by a meteorologist, safety tips, and a variety of vendors offering resources to help residents protect their homes and families. After the city’s recent experiences with Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the event serves as a timely reminder of the importance of preparation and community resilience.

Jennifer Hubbard, Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the National Weather Service, will deliver presentations at 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. inside City Hall. These sessions will offer valuable insights into storm forecasting, emergency alerts, and how residents can stay informed and safe during hurricane season.
