Red Cross teaching shelter fundamentals at upcoming training

Posted

VIENNA — Maries County Emergency Management recently announced an upcoming Shelter Fundamentals class designed to equip participants with the essential skills and knowledge needed to manage a shelter during a disaster.

This basic-level course will cover guidelines and procedures for setting up, running, and closing a shelter. Participants will work on a case study referencing shelter checklists and will explore four of the six phases of the Sheltering Cycle: opening, organizing, operating and closing.

The class is scheduled for April 12 at the First Baptist Church located at 1004 S Hwy 63 in Vienna. The session will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and lunch will be provided by the American Red Cross. The training will also be instructed by Red Cross experts.

Those interested in enhancing their skills and contributing to the community’s preparedness and resilience and find more information and register by contacting Maries County Emergency Management Director Mike Elliott at MElliott@mariescountymo.gov.
