In a collaborative effort to enhance disaster preparedness, the Lawton Fire Department recently joined other emergency response agencies for a high-stakes workshop at FISTA Innovation Park in Lawton, Oklahoma. The training session was packed with hands-on learning, focusing on improving critical skills such as coordination, decision-making, and communication in emergencies.

Bringing together various emergency management partners, the workshop allowed participants to hone their abilities to create a common operating picture, track resources efficiently, and prepare situation reports to relay vital information during crises. It’s a crucial step in ensuring that all agencies can work together effectively when disaster strikes.
