Your Emergency Plan and First Responders

 Establishing a good relationship with your local police and fire stations and other first responders is a necessary part of an emergency plan. Making sure that everyone involved in an emergency understand what each group sees as a priority can help everything go as smoothly as it can. This process is so important, COSTEP MA developed a 5-part training course dual-taught by instructors from the cultural heritage and firefighting communities--all training materials are available for free here:https://guides.mblc.state.ma.us/c.php?g=894167&p=6430119. One of the handouts provides a great starting point for sharing information with your local first responders: https://guides.mblc.state.ma.us/ld.php?content_id=45839754.
