Are you ready? As first responders, we know we have to perform in challenging situations, and that there are scenarios we have never encountered ourselves. Do you have a plan to evacuate your city or county? Have you built the relationships with your partners? Are you prepared for the event to last for weeks or months?
This two-day program was developed to help communities PREPARE and RESPOND to a large-scale evacuation event within their community. The course was developed by two law and fire service leaders who have lived through it and want to help others learn from those experiences.
The course will be most successful if attended by those able to implement change within their agency, with an open mind to be critical of how we’ve always done it versus what we might need to do. It will also be best if attended with partner agencies - law and fire together, so collaboration can begin in the planning stages of a large event.
