When

January 8, 2025    
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Please join FEMA Region 2, in partnership with the National CERT Association (NCA) and California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), for a webinar about Field Command, EOC Activation, and the Management of Multiple Volunteer Groups Simultaneously.

 

The first day of a major incident can be oh so complicated, with fingers crossed, and the hope that it all unfolds in an organized way – according to some really good plan out there. Sometimes it does; but chaos is the norm, with nobody at fault. After all, they’re called disasters for a reason.

The day of the week and the time of day greatly influence how we respond. Whether the incident is a surprise or was seen coming, is also big. In this presentation, we will talk about Incident Command and/ or Unified Command in the field – somehow triggering a local government response, and how CERT volunteers, along with a lot of other organized volunteers, fit in. We’ll ask a lot of questions and with luck, we’ll even answer a few.

Who should attend: Local, State, Federal government, Community and Faith-based Organizations, Emergency Managers, CERT Leads, Program Managers and volunteers.

This event will include Live Captioning. If you need additional accommodations, please email [email protected].
