it is more important than ever that New Yorkers are prepared
for disasters.” Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor
The New York Citizen Preparedness Training Program offers a FREE two hour training session for residents to have the tools and resources to prepare for any type of disaster, respond accordingly and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. The training course will provide an introduction to responding to a natural or man-made disaster.
Participants will be advised on how to properly prepare for any disaster, including developing a family emergency plan and stocking up on emergency supplies. Trainings are led by the New York National Guard, working with experts from the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services’ Office
of Emergency Management and Office of Fire Prevention and Control. All training sessions are coordinated with local county emergency management personnel. A key component of this training
is distribution of FREE NYS Disaster Preparedness Kits to all participants (one per family) containing
key items to assist individuals in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.
