The Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (OEMHS) invites the public to join the Ready Montgomery Seminar (RMS), hosted at the Wheaton Recreation Center on Saturday, Sept. 7, from 10 am to 2 pm. The seminar and training session will encourage residents to think beyond the traditional steps for emergency preparedness. It will introduce ways they can be active participants in their safety and the safety of those around them in the event of an emergency or during a disaster. Residents are encouraged to participate and registration for the event is required. 

The Ready Montgomery Seminar will be presented in partnership with the Montgomery County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) and will provide abridged demonstrations and hands-on breakout training sessions on Narcan administration for opiate misuse; hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); bleeding control; active assailant response; and how to make an emergency plan, assemble an emergency kit, prepare for a changing climate, and other emergency preparedness measures.

OEMHS staff invites the public, community organizations, and other Montgomery County entities to register for and attend the event, spread the word among the County residents they serve, and share information on their social media pages.
Registration is required and participants over the age of 14 are encouraged to join. The Ready Montgomery Seminar (RMS) Eventbrite page is available for public registration, here.
