Training Plan

This document is to outline a comprehensive Annual Training Plan for South Whidbey Fire / EMS which builds upon the momentum and foundation of training previously provided to the organization. The structure and content of this plan has been methodically developed to meet the dynamic needs of the organization and its personnel, while simultaneously improving time management and coordination efforts. While every effort will be made to adhere to the program provided in the following pages, it should be noted that a reasonable amount of flexibility and subsequent revision should be anticipated as additional events and training opportunities develop throughout the course of the year. 

The overall goal of this plan and its associated efforts is to provide personnel with the best possible preparatory knowledge, skills, and abilities while subsequently establishing South Whidbey Fire / EMS as a recognized department of safe, efficient, and effective delivery of all-hazards emergency response training. Doing so will ensure fulfillment of our organizational values as we strive for integrity, service and trust for our community, through the provision of excellent risk reduction and response services. Furthermore, the safety and effectiveness of our personnel and emergency scene operations will be enhanced through the commitment of these diverse training opportunities.
