SOUTHERN TIER, N.Y. (WENY) -- Since severe weather events are becoming more frequent, there are several New York Citizen Preparedness Training programs happening in the Southern Tier.

The program teaches you to have the tools and resources to prepare for any type of disaster, respond accordingly and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions.   This training course will provide an introduction to responding to a natural or man-made disaster.  Participants will be advised on how to properly prepare for any disaster, including developing family emergency plan and stocking up on emergency supplies. Each family that attends will receive one Preparedness kit.
