The training included everything from safely using a generator to operating a chainsaw.

“Every storm is different. So, it’s good to have a refresher,” said Seminole County resident Rosanna Rivera. “This is an excellent opportunity. When it’s free and we just came out, and we need to learn. We need to be prepared.”
