FEMA Pilot Course Support!
We are working with our FEMA Region I (New England) counterparts to promote a first-in-the-nation pilot program that will benefit nonprofits, small businesses, and service organizations. OPEN, Organizations Preparing for Emergency Needs, presents ten essential preparedness actions to help these groups recover as soon as possible after disasters. If you know of organizations that could benefit from the seminar in Lowell on Thursday, Feb. 13 from 2-4:30 p.m., please forward the attached flyer and encourage them to register via EventBrite. Additional details available upon request.
