Far Rockaway, NY - New York Army National Guard 1LT Alexandria Wiedenbaum, from 466th ASUC leads a Citizens Emergency Preparedness Corps session held at Beach Channel High School in Rockaway Park, NY on March 28, 2015 The event is part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's continuing Citizen Preparedness Corps Training Program, which gives citizens the knowledge and tools to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. Working with the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) and local emergency management personnel, troops are conducting these training events across the state. Emergency preparedness is part and parcel of the New York National Guard's mission and experience, according New York State Adjutant Maj. Gen. Patrick A. Murphy. Participants received a training certificate, a wallet-sized "Z-Card" with emergency preparedness information, and a free Citizen Preparedness Starter Kit. The kit included a first-aid kit, face mask, pocket radio with batteries, food bars, emergency blanket and other key items to help citizens in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. The class also included information about what other supplies and items citizens should add to their kits. – Photos by CPT Mark H Getman- New York Guard
