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. Registration is open, but space is limited.
Warren County will host a session through the New York Citizen Preparedness Corps Training Program on Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Warren County Sheriff's Office training room, 1400 Route 9, in Queensbury
The New York Citizen Preparedness Training Corps 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 serve as 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.
Ann Marie Mason, Warren County Director of Emergency Services, said: “This program covers a wide variety of emergency preparedness topics, including 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 you and your family are ready to respond when you need to. We have had great community response when offering this training in the past and are glad to see our residents have a desire to learn how to be prepared.”
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. The online registration link can be found here. Those who can not attend this training can find online versions here.
