Disaster Preparedness Training

Our ​disaster preparedness trainings designed to help your organization, neighborhood, or community group be ready before an emergency happens. These short, engaging sessions - usually 30 minutes to an hour in length - ​provide practical tips, local resources, and step-by-step guidance tailored to Dallas residents—covering topics like severe weather, power outages, emergency kits, and helping vulnerable neighbors. Whether you represent a business, faith-based group, senior center, school, or homeowners’ association, our team will bring the training to you and empower your community to feel more confident and prepared. Requesting a session is simple—and it’s one of the easiest ways to protect the people you care about.​
