As part of our ongoing efforts to prepare communities for all types of disasters and actively engage in disaster risk reduction, and with the support of the offices of several local elected officials to bring this training opportunity to you, including Senator Andrew J. Lanza, Councilman James S. Oddo, and Senator Diane J. Savino, we are pleased to invite you to the Leading and Managing for Senior Center Leaders training series on September 20^th and 22^nd from 9:00am-12:00pm at the Staten Island Community Board #2, located in the Lou Caravone Community Service Building at 460 Brielle Avenue in Staten Island, NY. As part of the first day of the event, we are delighted to have Senator Savino in attendance to make an address to participants.

This training is uniquely tailored to ensure that the leaders and staff of senior centers and elder care facilities are prepared for potential disasters and emergencies including hurricanes, snow storms, tornados, man-made disasters and other events that may have severe impacts on their facilities and communities. Senior citizens are one of the most vulnerable demographics during emergencies and we must be vigilant to ensure their comfort, safety, and independence.
