Emergency management highlights military training and launches Safe Return program
Summary
EMA Director Kenny Garrett summarized Innovative Readiness Training held in June and introduced the Henderson County Safe Return Program, a no‑cost registry to help responders locate people with memory‑related illnesses or communication‑limiting conditions.
EMA Director Kenny Garrett and Assistant Director Jill Ward told the Fiscal Court the Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) held in Henderson in June produced notable statistics and community engagement. Following that recap, they introduced the Henderson County Safe Return Program, a no‑cost initiative that encourages caregivers to create profiles containing critical information to help first responders quickly locate and recover loved ones with memory‑related illnesses, autism or other conditions that limit communication.
Garrett said the program is intended to give responders timely access to vital details about individuals who may wander or be otherwise unable to provide identifying information. Magistrate Puttman moved to adjourn the meeting following the presentation; Magistrate Berry seconded and the meeting was adjourned.
