Speakers Bureau
Volunteer Support Function (VSF) 14.03: CRD Public Outreach
Members of the Speakers Bureau are trained to deliver the 60-75 minute presentation Emergency Preparation for You, Your Family, and Your Community. Sometimes that session is referred to as 'eprep 101', we provide this educational format to the public, nonprofit organizations, and other City bureaus and partners virtually and in person.
Who qualifies?
Typically, Active NETs are preferred based on their training in emergency preparedness and response, but other members of the community are eligible.
Apply to be a member of the Speakers Bureau
If you have never attended the presentation titled Emergency Preparation for You, Your Family, and Your Community, please do so before applying to present it. Presentations are announced in the PBEM Volunteer Bulletin, and added to MIP Opportunities > Advanced Training when scheduled.
We review applications and offer Speakers Bureau trainings periodically.
The Slides
The presentation is provided in PowerPoint or PDF format to volunteers who are designated as members of the Speakers Bureau. To maintain an excellent standard of public education, we must train and qualify presenters.
Additional Presentation Topics
In the future, additional specific presentations might be offered such as Disaster Sanitation and Sheltering in Place.
