Great Neck, NY - New York Army National Guard Captain Stephen Totter, Citizen Preparedness Training Instructor leads a Citizens Emergency Preparedness Corps session held at the Great Neck Social Center in Great Neck (Long Island), NY on October 20th 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. Since the program's launch in early February 2014, troops have held more than 500 events statewide, and taught over 44,000 citizens how to be better prepared for emergencies and disasters. 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
