Senator Serrano partnered with Governor Cuomo to sponsor an Emergency Preparedness Trainings at the High Bridge Senior Center in the Bronx. Led by Governor Cuomo’s Citizen Preparedness Corps, the two-hour training provided an overview of how to respond to natural or man-made disasters. Participants were advised on developing a family emergency plan, stocking up on emergency supplies, and how to build and maintain a supply kit that will keep loved ones safe in an emergency. The event was co-sponsored by Congressman Jose E. Serrano, Assembly Member Latoya Joyner, and Council Member Vanessa Gibson. All participants received a Citizen Preparedness Corps Starter Kit backpack.

“The more informed we are about how we can prepare for an emergency, the safer we will be. This requires a concerted effort, by families and communities working together to ensure relief in the aftermath of dangerous situations. Many thanks to Governor Cuomo, Congressman Serrano, Assembly Member Joyner, and Council Member Gibson for their commitment to keeping our communities safe.”
