In times of disaster, a trained and informed public is better prepared to
protect themselves, their families, their workplace and their neighbors. This
webinar will showcase several disaster training resources that are available in
communities across the nation.
FEMA recognizes that it takes a “whole community” approach to meet the needs
of the public before, during and after a disaster. Learn how your community can
train and educate its citizens to be better prepared and involved in your
community’s disaster response and recovery efforts.
Join us for brief presentations by representatives from the American Red Cross,
the Community Emergency Response Team program, ARRL National Association for
Amateur Radio (Ham Radio operators), Medical Reserve Corps, Meals on Wheels,
HandsOn Network, Fire Corps, USAonWatch Neighborhood Watch program, Volunteers
