In the case of a resource-strapped or small town,
Child says, the training shares how preparation might
mean looking at businesses and residents in a new light.
While the town may not have a tree expert on staff, it
might have a local tree cutting business or demolition
company that could help in case of a crisis. “Maybe you
can’t afford all these things but there are people within
every town that have certain talents and abilities.”
Having these contacts and relationships in place
before a crisis happens is critical, the experts say.
“We don’t appreciate or value training until we’re
standing in front of a judge, until we’re meeting with
the family or loved ones of someone who was killed in a
flood or by an active shooter, or we’re answering a lawsuit,
spending tens of millions where we could have spent tens
of thousands on training,” says Paul Goldenberg, Cardinal
Point Strategies CEO.
“I don’t think some of them realize
how things can happen,” says Child.
“Sometimes, they don’t think they
need it until they’re hit with that situation
or crisis.”
