The
Westchester County Department of Emergency Services has begun offering
online training programs to
emergency responders throughout the County.
Referred to as “e-learn now”, the
internet learning system will give emergency responders access to online
training programs and information regarding emergency preparedness and
response around the clock. Courses will focus on an assortment of topics
including disaster preparedness, fire suppression, rescue, hazardous
materials, communications, and emergency medical care. Although not
intended to replace traditional “classroom-style” training, it is
anticipated that the new system will enhance accessibility to important
training materials and information and will give emergency personnel the
ability to complete training, earn continuing education credits, and
track progress from their workplace or home. Personnel
can register for the internet learning system from the Department of
Emergency Services website (http://www.westchestergov.com/emergserv/).
After completing a one-time registration process, personnel will have
access to several training programs and reference materials.
Sign up for
the Westchester Emergency Volunteer Reserves (WEVR) Program.
Anyone
aged 18 and older can apply to join the Westchester Emergency Volunteer Reserves
(WEVR) and help make Westchester safer, stronger, and even more prepared to
respond to a natural or man-made disaster. The WEVR will go into action should a
disaster, such as a devastating fire, a hurricane, a blizzard, or a deliberate
act of destruction, occur in Westchester County. While
professional emergency services personnel are best prepared and equipped to
handle disasters, emergencies can be overwhelming and strain the resources in a
community. You can
make a difference!
