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.
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
Who do We Need as Partners? City Departments County Department State Agencies Federal Agencies Military Private Companies Volunteer Organizations
What do We Need Partners to Do? To put it simply – to provide people and stuff
when bad things happen!
“Send the Cavalry!”
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!
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.
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.

The goal is to offer a diversified training program that will be of
interest to a broad base of partners.
Begin building a network of Training ProvidersA good place to start is on Preparing TexasAlso, 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!
Training Providers
Don’t downplay your local or in-house developed training, you might be surprised what your partners might be interested in attending.
