Training & Outreach
Community engagement and public education are important to Nassau's Emergency Management Program. We work with residents, homeowners' associations, civic groups, non-profit organizations, faith-based communities, and businesses to increase emergency preparedness and community resilience. Our experienced staff members are available to deliver informative presentations, educational programs, skills training, disaster preparedness literature, and information about volunteering.

Training, Education, Activities, and Mentorship for
Girls Interested in Response, Leadership, and Safety
Nassau EM has launched a new opportunity for girls in grades 7–9. The immersive day-camp program will be held June 23–27 at the Emergency Operations Center.
EM's goal is to have women who have excelled in law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical services, and emergency management teach valuable preparedness skills and inspire our next generation of female public safety leaders through interactive workshops, valuable skills training, real-world simulations, and personal mentorship.
The schedule includes first aid, CPR, firefighting basics, and other public safety topics, with scenario-based team training designed to build confidence and valuable skillsets.
