[FCARC] Citizen Corps Disaster Training Opportunities Available to the Public

[Craig Szczublewski]

I received this today from the TMRA group and thought it may be
relevant to your interests (thanks Joe Thielen for passing this 
along):


Something I came across which may be of interest to hams involved in
emergency communications... this is a "webinar", basically a seminar
which you can view from your web browser (web seminar).

Disaster Training Opportunities Available to the Public

Overview

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, Operation HOPE, HandsOn Network, Fire
Corps, USAonWatch Neighborhood Watch program, Volunteers in Police
Service, SkyWarn and more!

Follow our tweets about this webinar and future webinars at

This webinar will be approximately 1 hour and it is free and open to
the public. You do not need to RSVP or have a login/username to gain
access. You may join 5-10 minutes prior to the start.
