Basic EOC Training Materials - Free!
One of the many challenges facing all jurisdictions during the COVID-19 response is the ongoing need to staff Emergency Operations Centers and other coordination centers with trained personnel. We are all facing long-term sustained operations with no outside relief anticipated.
Cal OES and the California Specialized Training Institute recognize that jurisdictions at every level have an immediate need to train new staff to build their EOC cadres. To help you meet that need, we have placed basic EOC training materials online. These materials can be downloaded and used by your own experienced staff to provide initial training for new EOC assignees.
We are also working to develop interactive online courses that individuals can access directly and complete at their convenience. We will announce those as soon as they are available.

– Black Sustainability, Inc. proudly unveils the upcoming 8th Annual
Black Sustainability Summit, set to take place from October 6th to October
8th, 2023. As the world's premier gathering for sustainability practitioners
of African descent, the annual Black Sustainability Summit continues its
legacy of providing a dynamic platform for empowerment, education, and collaboration.
This year, the summit is delighted to present an unapologetic lineup of
presenters of African descent, offering fresh perspectives on harnessing
resources across sustainability disciplines.
Raina
Turner-Greenlea, Co-founder and Executive Director of Black Sustainability,
Inc., enthuses, "We are excited to bring forth the 8th Annual Black
Sustainability Summit! It is a powerful testament to the solutions and
growing impact frontline communities have across the Global South. Our summit
remains a celebration of our collective commitment to the restoration of
Mother Earth/our planet, our communities, and future generations. We hope
Black and Green practitioners join us for an opportunity to deepen
connections, exchange insights, and galvanize action towards a more equitable
and sustainable world."
Across
three engaging days, attendees will engage with sustainability practitioners
and leaders from around the world, as they delve into hands-on workshops,
impactful reports, and actionable strategies for implementing locally-driven
climate and environmental solutions. The summit stands as a beacon of
progress and unity, fostering a multi-day zero-waste event where like-minded
individuals can connect and collaborate. The
summit's agenda unfolds as follows:
Day 1 - Friday, October 6: Participants will have the privilege of partaking in a blend of insightful presentations and reports from frontline community-based organizations to develop a State of Black Sustainability Report, interspersed with enriching networking mixers. Day 2 - Saturday, October 7: Attendees are invited to roll up their sleeves and soak up some sun with immersive learning experiences and hands-on workshops designed for all members of the family. This day coincides with the 14th Annual Original Metro-Atlanta Collard Greens Cultural Festival in Snellville, promising an unforgettable fusion of education and cultural celebration. Day
3 - Sunday, October 8:
Participants will close out the summit with a half-day of final reports from
frontline community-based organizations and next steps.
Through
active participation in this year's Black Sustainability Summit, attendees
will contribute to the creation of a groundbreaking State of Black
Sustainability Report. This report will serve as a platform to share scalable
climate solutions, aimed at addressing pervasive challenges faced by BIPOC
communities. Participants will gain invaluable insights into sustainable
agricultural practices within the Black community and witness the
transformative efforts of local organizations and leaders, united by their
passion to restore and preserve our planet.
Mrs. Turner-Greenlea emphasizes, "Our summit stands as an indispensable event, a sacred space where Black practitioners across diverse disciplines come together to inspire, network, and collectively advance our shared goals. This gathering is a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange best practices, and collaboratively design tangible solutions for the most pressing issues affecting marginalized communities. We invite all those who identify as Black AND Green to join and support us this October at our Atlanta summit." The
annual summit is now serving as a fundraiser for BSI with a portion of ticket
purchases contributing toward the RBG Impact Fund to support member projects
and the remaining percentage toward organizational capacity to bolster the
organization’s impactful initiatives. Secure
