Updated List of Agency Crisis Responders Now Available

The Agency’s Crisis Plan has been updated to list all current agency crisis responders. These staff members have volunteered to provide immediate assistance at the on-set of a crisis situation. They are CPR-certified, and the hope is to provide them with more crisis preparation training in the future. 

In our continued effort to improve our agency’s crisis preparation, this summer we will be equipping each office with an emergency “go” bag, which will include such things as a first aid kit, blanket, flash light, batteries, glow sticks, whistle, dust masks, etc. 

If you have any questions about the Crisis Plan, crisis responders or crisis preparation, contact Dustin Gean, Operations Manager, at dgean@heartlandaea.org.
