Citizen Preparedness Corps Training
This one-hour training will teach basic principles of emergency preparedness, response, and recovery to strengthen our communities in the event of a disaster, an active shooter situation, or a public health crisis. The course includes a certification by the state, which is also recognized by numerous state agencies, including New York State's Office of Children and Family Services. The trainers present a broad range of material, such as developing a family emergency plan, building a "Go-Bag", and include important information on active shooter scenarios.
