Leon County will convene preparedness experts, public safety officials, nonprofit partners, and other community leaders to educate residents on topics such as disaster preparedness, who to call in an emergency, and the importance of having a plan for your home.
Activities include Leon County Emergency Medical Services’ Stop the Bleed training, which teaches participants how to control bleeding in emergency situations, and the Consolidated Dispatch Agency’s The First of First Responders presentation, which provides insights into the critical role of 911 dispatchers and how to effectively communicate vital information.
