These included the UTACTION showcase program, disaster literacy information, mini excavators, Emergency Response Team (ERT) uniforms, as well as video and photo exhibitions related to the UTACTION program.

The series of events also included disaster board games, which provided visitors with both fun and educational experiences about disaster preparedness.
