In what is being called a significant milestone for Saguache County’s emergency preparedness, the county’s Emergency Management Director Bobby Woelz has completed FEMA’s Incident Command System Train-the-Trainer program.  

This accomplishment marks the end of a yearlong program comprising eight courses over 113 hours of instruction. Woelz’s next step is to apply for endorsement from the State Training Officer, to officially certify him as an ICS Instructor in Colorado. 

This certification will allow Woelz to teach a wide variety of courses, from Early Alert and Warning to Evacuation and Re-Entry, enhancing the county’s overall preparedness and response capabilities.
