Working w/ 1st Responders in Emergencies

Service Description

Learn how municipalities can coordinate effectively with first responders and partner agencies during emergencies. Effective emergency response depends on strong coordination between municipalities, first responders, and external partner agencies. This session explores how to build and maintain those relationships before a crisis, and how to work together smoothly when an incident occurs. We’ll cover practical strategies for clarifying roles, sharing information, supporting unified command, and ensuring that municipal staff, fire, EMS, police, public works, and regional partners operate as a cohesive team. The session also highlights how to navigate differing priorities, communication styles, and resource limitations — all common challenges in small and mid‑sized communities. Whether your municipality has a part‑time emergency manager or relies on cross‑trained staff, this webinar offers realistic, actionable guidance for strengthening collaboration when it matters most. This webinar is part of the Emergency Management Bundle. Contact Anna at Anna@smallplacesrock.com to register for the Emergency Management Bundle of 18 webinars.
