Disaster Relief Training in Action!

10/10/2025

Our HUD Certified Housing Counselors joined six other agencies for a hands-on disaster response training exercise held at the Gladwin County Fairgrounds.

The training simulated a Point of Distribution mission, focusing on setting up a shelter and processing victims in a disaster scenario. Participants guided simulated victims through registration, health assessments, HUD counseling, and more—gaining valuable experience in a multi-agency emergency response.

A big thank you to Emergency Manager Bob North, the Civil Air Patrol, Gladwin County Emergency Management, and all participating agencies for creating such a meaningful training opportunity.

Mid Michigan Community Action is here before, during, and after a crisis. Learn more about our work:
