Greeting Community Partners,
The SFDPH Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response (PHEPR) section would like to share an opportunity for your agency and/or community stakeholders to become more prepared to respond to emergencies. As some of you may know, PHEPR is defining our mission and strategy to support San Francisco communities, and neighborhoods like yours, to become more aware, educated and prepared to respond to both small and large emergencies.
The Listos California (Listos California) training program information below is an opportunity we wanted to bring to your attention. We believe this would be great opportunity to learn more about how you can become grounded in principles and practices of emergency preparedness and response.
