Councillor David Ambrose Smith, chairman of ECDC's operational services committee, spoke of the event's importance.
He said: "We want residents to be able to recognise risks in the community and help protect vulnerable people who might not be able to look out for themselves.
"It is vitally important that we ensure the safety and welfare of our residents and I would urge people to attend the event."
