American Red Cross Citizen Preparedness Corps Training

In partnership with New York State, the American Red Cross is offering a free Citizen Preparedness Corps training session titled Prepare, Respond, Recover: What to Do When Disaster Strikes. New York State is at a high risk for man-made, technological and natural disasters. Governor Cuomo’s Citizen Preparedness Corps training program provides residents with the knowledge and tools to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond accordingly, and recover to pre-disaster conditions as quickly as possible.

Topics include:

  • Fire safety
  • Severe weather preparedness
  • Basic first aid
  • Evacuation plans
  • Emergency supply kits
  • Pet safety
  • Communication plans
  • And more!

All participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of training.

The training session can be held privately for your group, or it can be held as a public event. Presentations can be held at the location of your choosing.
