Albany, OR – Professionals working with seniors and people with disabilities can take part in a free emergency preparedness training this November aimed at improving community readiness before disasters strike.
According to the Oregon Cascades West Council of Governments, the “Informed and Ready” Emergency Preparedness Training will be held Monday, November 17, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the Linn County Expo Conference Center, located at 3700 Knox Butte Road East in Albany.
The event, organized by Senior & Disability Services and AIM-4-Access, will guide participants through strategies to help vulnerable adults during emergencies. Attendees will learn how to navigate preparedness conversations, overcome service barriers, and create individualized emergency plans.
Organizers say the session encourages collaboration among caregivers, agencies, and community partners. It also emphasizes making preparedness an ongoing part of service delivery rather than a one-time task.
The training is open to agencies, caregivers, emergency personnel, and others who provide services to vulnerable adults. Participants can register online through the Council of Governments’ official link.
