(NOTE: These workshops were held in 2019. None are currently planned. I’m leaving this page as is to give you and idea of what the NPREP Team could offer if we had the resources. If you wish to help, send an email to nprep@L2020.org.)
Please join us for hands-on, detailed workshops in emergency preparedness.

What an informative series! I would love to see it hosted on a weekend or after standard work hours so that those who are employed full-time could attend.
Rebekah – thanks for the feedback. One option is to contact your neighborhood Emergency Prep leaders and ask if they can set up one of these trainings for your neighborhood. You can find out if your neighborhood is organized, and who your lead is, here.
