TRAININGS BY SHERRY & COLLEAGUES

Please note the main purpose of this website is to provide a "one-stop-shop" for resources on Emergency Management, Preparedness and Homeland Security for agencies that have limited time and resources. 

However, the demand for EM & HS training in schools and other agencies has increased in the last year.  This section of the website was added to encourage individuals and sites to enhance their ability to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to and recover from a crisis.

Sherry Colgan Stone conducts trainings on a regular basis and provides consultation services to school districts and other agencies in the areas of EM & HS.  She also has a network of colleagues that she can refer agencies to, if she is unable to meet the needs.
