Culpeper Businesses - Emergency Preparedness Training

September is designated as Emergency Preparedness Month. The Culpeper Chamber of Commerce - working with the RRMRC, Town Police, County Sheriff, County Director of Emergency Services, and the American Red Cross joined together yesterday to provide an educational seminar for the Small Businesses of Culpeper. The topics covered ranged from Natural Disaster Preparedness to Local Crisis Preparedness.

Practical preparation takes time and effort and is time well invested. In addition, practical work place practices were discussed with regard to reducing the spread of germs. One of the best ways to stay current with the preparedness practices is to become involved with the local organizations such as the RRMRC - Rappahannock Rapidan Medical Reserve Corps and the American Red Cross to name a few.

The Director of Emergency Services for Culpeper County offered to review Emergency Preparedness Plans for Culpeper Businesses. "Easy Button" Anyone.....


This was the first of a monthly Lunch n Learn format organized by the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce Small Business Committee. In October we plan the have a panel discussion about Health Care Issues for Small Business. In November, We plan to have a presentation about Web Basics for Small Business.

Go to the Calendar of Events at the Chamber website for times, dates, and details.
