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 Tuesday, October 21, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Warren County Sheriff's Office, 1400 Route 9, in Queensbury.

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 informative program will cover how to develop a family emergency plan, what emergency supplies should be acquired prior to a disaster and numerous other important details to make sure Warren County residents can respond well when disasters 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 attendance is limited to 50 people and registration is required. To register, click here. Those who can not attend this training can find online versions here.
