Training a Community

12/27/2016
Whole Community Training is a new approach on how to respond to emergency events. This training helps first responders, emergency management practitioners, and government officials collectively understand their capabilities and weaknesses. The Whole Community approach attempts to engage the private and nonprofit sectors, including businesses and faith-based organizations and the public.

Whole Community Training is a regional class where all members of a community can collectively prepare for an emergency event. When all members of the community participate, they build a more effective path to a safe and secure community that can recover if an emergency event occurs. During the morning session, the instructor will assess the needs of your community, determine the best way to organize your resources, and discuss how to prepare for emergency events. The afternoon session will consist of tabletop exercises. Because Whole Community Training is regional, the instructor will come to the assigned city and work with the community.
