HORSEHEADS, -- New York Army National Guard Soldiers Pfc. Jarrell Williams (left) and Richard French, chief of training and exercise for the New York State Office of Emergency Management (right), tally disaster and emergency response starter kits during New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's Citizen Preparedness Corps Training Program at Horseheads High School here on June 7, 2014. New York National Guard troops gave disaster and emergency training to about 160 people who attended the event. The program is designed to give citizens the knowledge and tools to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. New York National Guard troops, working with experts from the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, Office of Fire Prevention and Control, and local emergency management personnel will conduct future training sessions with the goal of teaching approximately 100,000 New Yorkers during 2014. Each starter kit contains 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. Williams, of the 827th Engineer Company, is from the Bronx, ( National Guard photo by Sgt. 1st Class Raymond Drumsta, Joint Force Headquarters, New York Army National Guard).
