PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. -- New York State Senator Betty Little speaks before a session of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's Citizen Preparedness Corps Training Program at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh here on June 14, 2014. New York National Guard troops gave disaster and emergency training to about 95 people who attended the event. The program is designed to give citizens the knowledge and tools to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. New York National Guard troops, working with experts from the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, Office of Fire Prevention and Control, and local emergency management personnel will conduct future training sessions with the goal of teaching approximately 100,000 New Yorkers during 2014.
