Committee explores state "train the trainers" program to revive neighborhood resilience
Summary
Committee members discussed a state program that could train local volunteers to lead neighborhood emergency preparedness; the group endorsed exploring the program for 2026 resilience and preparedness activities.
The Public Safety Committee discussed a state-sponsored "train the trainers" program that could help Fairview build neighborhood-level emergency-preparedness teams and resilience training. A committee member said the state program offers to "come out and do train the trainers for committees like ours," which could support local events and restart preparedness programming.
Members recalled prior emergency-preparedness efforts that included shortwave radio demonstrations, food-safety presentations and community communications. Speakers emphasized the value of community-level preparedness in the event of extended infrastructure outages and suggested the program could support a 2026 initiative on resilience.
Committee members asked staff to add a resilience/trainer item to the next meeting agenda to discuss outreach, timing and potential partners. No formal commitment was made; members said they would pursue planning and report back in a future meeting.
