Training

UNF offers a variety of training opportunities focused on strengthening the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to effectively respond to emergencies. Although much of the content is designed for UNF employees who serve on the UNF Emergency Management Team, many trainings are open to students, faculty, staff, and other members of the UNF community with an interest in emergency preparedness and response.
