Note: Since first publication of this article, training times have been extended by 30 minutes. This change has been reflected in the table below. Also, more dates will be available in the Fall.

The next big step in the college emergency management plan is happening.

The All-Hazards Training is an excellent overview of what faculty and staff should be prepared for in various emergency situations.  The training is an hour long and will be presented on numerous dates and times.

This important training is mandatory for all faculty and staff.

For those unable to attend the scheduled trainings offered before the end of this academic year, additional opportunities will be offered in fall, 2014.

Faculty members are not expected to attend trainings that occur outside of the contractual academic calendar. Associate faculty members who attend mandatory training and submit a completed time-sheet to the VPASA’s office will be paid for that time at the contractual rate for non-instructional work, $39 per hour.

There is nothing more important to this effort than a well-trained staff.  Preparation, training and readiness can make all the difference should the college ever be faced with a critical emergency.

Please review the training schedule below and mark your calendar(s) for the session that best fits your schedule.
