  1. Utilizing Training as a Partnership Incentive

  2. Introduction A workshop presenting best practices and lessons learned from utilizing training as a partnership development incentive. This workshop will include a basic outline or “how to” for developing, enhancing, and maintaining strong partnerships through your training. Workshop Developer Mark Chadwick, CEM Training Officer mark.chadwick@sanantonio.gov (210) 206-8688

  3. Why do We Need Partnerships? Anyone that has been in Emergency Management for any amount of time at all knows that when really bad things happen we need as many partners assisting as possible to take care of the situation. Developing partnerships during a disaster is the wrong time to try to get to know who people are, what skill sets they possess, and what they bring to the table. Formal & Informal Partnerships are important to Emergency Management

  4. Who do We Need as Partners? • City Departments • County Department • State Agencies • Federal Agencies • Military • Private Companies • Volunteer Organizations

  5. What do We Need Partners to Do? • To put it simply – to provide people and stuff when bad things happen! “Send the Cavalry!”

  6. What do We Offer to Encourage Partnerships? • We can’t afford to pay organizations to be our partners. • Smiles and charm won’t get us very far when emergencies and disasters strike. • Non-tangible friendships are not the best course of action. • Providing something that they want and need is the best option. • You have got to offer a carrot of some type!

  7. How can Training be a Partnership Incentive? Training actually assists both parties in the partnership. 1. The agency providing the training gains more trained people in your jurisdiction or region. 2. The agency receiving the training gains in having staff that are trained and saving money on training. Consider these two bank employees that we invited to play the “bad guys” in a SWAT Tactical course.

  8. How Do We Proceed? • Just like when you are going to take a trip; you need to make a plan. • Remember the old saying – “Failure to plan is a plan to Fail.” • Begin by looking at the partnerships you already have and consider inviting them to training. • Map out a plan.

  14. Training Providers • Begin building a network of Training Providers • A good place to start is on Preparing Texas • Also, look within your own departments to find out who might have instructor credentials *** A word of caution, we have all been in those classes where you had an instructor that should never have been certified to teach. Quality instructors attract partnerships, poor instructors chase partners away!

  15. Local Training • Don’t downplay your local or in-house developed training, you might be surprised what your partners might be interested in attending.
