The training provides "common sense" information about who is in charge during an emergency and what each person's role is as well as providing a structure to maintain order during a crisis. The importance of this training is that many of the county personnel and others that are trained through this program to help in emergency situations are not emergency workers, but everyday employees that are usually helping citizens with building permits, paying property taxes, and building inspections, just to name a few. This program maximizes the government’s ability to be put in action in a crisis by maximizing its employees. According to Under Sheriff Karl Knobelauch, The County and other municipal employees do have mandates on attending the training. The Sheriff’s Department currently oversees the trainings as the over arching entity currently in charge of emergency services here in the county. A small fraction of the yet-to-be-estimated training costs will be reimbursed by the federal government.
