The Dutchess County Department of Emergency Response hosts free Citizens Preparedness Training sessions throughout the year. These events are open to the public and designed to give you the tools and resources you need to better prepare for any type of disaster or emergency. Each family in attendance will receive a FREE Citizen Preparedness Corps Response Starter Kit.
Municipalities or agencies interested in partnering to host Citizens Preparedness Training should call (845) 486-2080 or contact us by email at readydutchess@dutchessny.gov.
Thanks to all who attended our training events in 2025! Spring 2026 training dates will be announced soon!
