OLEAN, New York (10/20/2026) — Members of the New York National Guard will be conducting a free emergency preparedness course at the Olean Senior Center on Monday, October 26 at 4 p.m.

The Olean Senior Center is located at 112 North Barry Street in Olean.
The training course will provide an introduction on responding to a natural or man-made disaster.
Participants will be advised on how to properly prepare for any disaster, including developing a family emergency plan and stocking up on emergency supplies.
Participants will receive a training certificate, a family emergency plan booklet, a pamphlet listing recommended items to store, and a starter "go kit" (one per household).
They will also learn how to report suspicious activity and potential threats to authorities with the free "See Something, Send Something" mobile app.
