It’s always encouraging to see healthcare and response partners come together to strengthen preparedness, share knowledge, and continue building relationships that matter during emergencies. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make Day 5 a success! 👏

Day 1 of the Southwest Emergency Management Workshop was a great success! Our MERC Coordinator was proud to attend alongside so many dedicated emergency management and health department professionals committed to training, collaboration, and preparedness.

One of the highlights of the day was the outstanding Goddard siren presentation, which truly stole the show and sparked great discussion among attendees. Events like this remind us how valuable it is to come together, share knowledge, and strengthen partnerships across the region.

A special thank you to Goddard Enterprises for generously sponsoring lunch today — we appreciate your continued support of emergency management and preparedness efforts!
