Congratulations to Lucia, our team's Engagement Liaison, who recently graduated from @FEMA's Train the Trainer Basic Academy. This ten-day course covered a range of #EmergencyManagement topics, from ethical decision making, to preparedness and emergency communications.
She explained, "This is an ideal course to understand fundamentals of Emergency Management. One take away for me was that EM professionals around the country face similar challenges and have so much in common! It was great to participate in a class with folks with the same mission of achieving community prevention, mitigation and response. Learning about FEMA's Serving the Whole Community Approach became a new asset for me."
Way to go, Lucia! We can't wait to see your new knowledge in action.
