Training & Outreach
Community engagement and public education are important parts of Nassau's Emergency Management Program. We work with residents, homeowners' associations, civic groups, non-profit organizations, faith-based communities, and businesses to increase emergency preparedness and community resilience. Our experienced staff members are available to deliver informative presentations, educational programs, skills training, disaster preparedness literature, and information about volunteering.

Training, Education, Activities, and Mentorship for Girls Interested in Response, Leadership, and Safety
​​Nassau EM has a one-of-a-kind week-long summer opportunity for girls entering grades 8-11.
​
​​TEAM for GIRLS is designed to inspire our next generation of female public safety leaders through interactive workshops, real-world simulations, and personal mentorship with professional women who have excelled in their law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical services, and emergency management fields. ​
The schedule includes a variety of public safety career topics, with hands-on sessions in First Aid, CPR, and basic firefighting plus scenario-based team training to build confidence and valuable skillsets.
This immersive day-camp program is free of charge, but enrollment is limited.
The 2026 session will be held June 22-26, 9 am - 4 pm daily at the Emergency Operations Center. Contact us for more information.
Emergency Management is a proud supporter of Hands4Hearts.org and our nationally recognized Medical Reserve Corps unit #2678, the Nassau Co. MRC. When not involved in public health emergencies, Nassau Co. MRC volunteers teach Hands-Only CPR/AED skills and other classes free of charge as part of their ongoing Life Savers Initiative.
Any CPR is better than no CPR - Bystander Hands-Only CPR saves lives!
