Emerging Trends in Emergency Preparedness Presentation

Emergencies can occur at any given time and your ability to successfully navigate the unknown rests primarily on your personal level of preparedness.

MCC Public Safety Emergency Manager Chuck DiSalvo invites you to attend a brown bag information session on Wednesday August 8 from 12 noon to 1 pm in The Empire Room, Building 3 Room 209 for a presentation on how best you can prepare for emergencies in your community.

Topics for discussion include:

  • How you should apply an "All Hazards Approach" to emergency preparedness.
  • How best to prepare for potential/actual power outages.
  • Shelters: When are shelters your best option.
  • Emergency Medical Care: What to do when the hospital emergency room can't accommodate you?
  • Weather Reports: What do they really tell you and how well do you understand them.
  • Weather Radios: Should you own one and if so which one should you own.
  • Hazardous Travel: How best to navigate hazardous travel conditions and when it is best to stay where you are and not travel.
  • How to construct both stationary and travel friendly "Go-Kits."
  • Emergency Communications: Do you know how best to communicate and obtain information when cellular and landline service are unreliable and/or inoperable?
  • Websites and Apps: Where can you receive additional information and training?

For additional information regarding the above presentation or to receive individual, group, or Department training on Active Threat, Emergency Communications, and Emergency Preparedness please contact MCC Public Safety Emergency Manager Chuck DiSalvo via e-mail at cdisalvo@monroecc.edu or via extension x2926.
