Emergency Preparedness Training
The Alliance for Healthy Communities and Home Care Association of Washington are pleased to announce the Readiness Now! campaign, an effort to promote employee personal and professional preparedness for in-home service providers. Encouraging employee preparedness not only increases people’s abilities to fulfill their work responsibilities during a disaster, but also encourages better prepared neighborhoods and communities. Prepared communities are resilient communities.
Readiness Now! provide agency staff a training program to encourage personal preparedness and rewards their efforts for doing so. For every three modules completed by an individual, a corresponding prize will be awarded to aid them in their emergency preparedness efforts. That is a total of 4 prizes that each individual can earn! The on-line training offers a 12 module program that provides the information needed to be personally prepared. All agencies are encouraged to provide this opportunity for staff to establish an emergency plan for their homes and families.
