Police, Fire, Ambulance, Military, Industry, Amateur Radio, and other Community Services are all "Partners in Response" when a major emergency strikes a community.

Partners in Response is a great opportunity for paid and volunteer emergency response organizations to get to know each other in an information sharing environment. It also provides the community a chance to "meet the people behind the sirens".

The three objectives of Partners in Response are to:
1. Allow the community to see the equipment and speak with the personnel that serve our region.
2. Raise awareness of the need for emergency preparedness.
3. Facilitate the networking of responders and the documentation of resources.
