Avoid Disaster Scams
Wednesday, August 21, 2024, from 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ET
Please join the Region 2 National Preparedness Division in partnership with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for a webinar on how to avoid scams post disaster.
Extreme weather and natural disasters can occur without warning, leaving you to make critical decisions when you may feel rushed. Scammers try to take advantage of that environment, preying on people before, during, and after disaster events. This webinar, presented by an attorney from the Federal Trade Commission’s Northeast Regional Office, will help you spot, avoid, and report scams that you may encounter as you prepare for, deal with, and recover from extreme weather and other natural disasters.
Who should attend: Whole Community, individuals, families, Community and Faith-based Organizations, State, local, tribal, territorial government and the private sector.

Self-care for Disaster Responders
Wednesday, August 28, 2024, from 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm ET
Please join the Region 2 National Preparedness Division in partnership with Americares for a webinar on selfcare for disaster responders amidst the 2024 Hurricane season.
Disaster Responders deal with the double burden of stress from home and work in the face of major disasters. Facing the difficult scenario of caring for themselves and others during this emergency presents responders with the risk of burnout, indirect trauma, and compassion fatigue. During this webinar, we will discuss the specific stressors for disaster responders as well as provide tools that can be used to promote self-care and aid in self-assessment.
Who should attend: Disaster Responders, First responders, CERT Volunteers, state, local, tribal, territorial government staff engaged in disaster response and recovery.
