Emergency Management celebrates Florida City Week
Emergency Management staff participated in Florida City Week. This week-long event is a statewide celebration hosted by the Florida League of Cities, which honors the essential role of municipal government. It brings communities together to learn, engage and appreciate the services that ensure the smooth operation of our cities.
Throughout Florida City Week, Emergency Management collaborated with other City departments and took part in events at five schools. These events were attended by approximately 570 students and provided them with an opportunity to connect with local leaders, explore City services and gain firsthand knowledge of how emergency preparedness protects and empowers our community. Emergency Management staff discussed preparedness topics and techniques, and shared resources available to residents of all ages.
These events not only showcased the dedication of our Emergency Management team but also reinforced the importance of civic engagement and community resilience through education and collaboration with students and residents.
Emergency Management attends FL-681 Survivor Assistance Training
In an ongoing initiative to enhance our City ' s emergency response capabilities, Emergency Management recently took part in the FL-681 Survivor Assistance Training. This program is designed to equip professionals with essential tools and knowledge to support survivors in the aftermath of disasters.
Organized by the Florida Division of Emergency Management, the FL-681 course emphasizes the crucial human aspect of disaster recovery. It covers best practices for providing effective assistance to individuals and families affected by emergencies, including guidance on crisis communication and resource coordination.
By participating in this training, Emergency Management staff is now better equipped to navigate complex recovery systems and connect residents with vital resources. The team also can effectively collaborate with state and federal partners during disaster response operations.
The City of Port St. Lucie and Emergency Management remain committed to ensuring that every resident receives the necessary support when it is most critical. www. CityofPSL. com / EM
