Responding well during a disaster or emergency requires training and preparation, and it could mean the difference between life and death.
An upcoming free training session organized by Warren County Office of Emergency Services will provide Warren County residents with the information and supplies they need to properly respond to disasters like floods, fires and severe storms.
Warren County will host a session through the New York Citizen Preparedness Corps Training Program on Thursday, October 1, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Warren County Human Services Building, 1340 Route 9, in Queensbury. Space is limited to 50 people, and this course fills whenever it is offered.
The New York Citizen Preparedness Training Program will provide attendees the knowledge and tools to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. New York State National Guard personnel will be course instructors.
Participants will be advised on how to properly prepare for any disaster, including the development of a family emergency plan and how best to stock up on emergency supplies.
“This program will help residents develop a complete family emergency plan, going over which emergency supplies should be acquired prior to a disaster and covering all contingencies to make sure you and your family are ready to respond to emergencies when they occur,” said Ann Marie Mason, Warren County Director of Emergency Services.
Each family that attends will receive a free emergency preparedness kit in a backpack, which will be ready to be used at a moment’s notice.
There is no charge to attend, but registration is required. Register online here.
Thank you to our partners with New York State for making this training possible!
