A Comprehensive Program for Emergency Prevention, Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, & Recovery
Our Community Readiness Workshop is designed for individuals, families, small businesses, large industry, community leaders, and anyone else that wants to be prepared for emergencies and disasters.
It consists of a series of inter-active presentations and interactive activities that ultimately support all-hazard readiness.
Sessions are free and are customized to the audience, but are dependent on available staff time and operational schedule.
