aftermath of severe weather or at any other venue where city leaders need the assistance of additional trained personnel.

The program includes disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact

your area and trains you in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Training consists of 8 sessions of 3 hours each plus a drill.
