Caribou Tech & Aroostook EMA

Members of the Aroostook County Emergency Management Agency visited students of the Caribou Technology Center today to discuss Hazardous Materials Awareness and First Responder Awareness Training. Students from Mr. Alther’s Fire Service Class and Mrs. Baker’s Criminal Justice Class spent a few hours learning about Haz Mat precautions, procedures, and terminology. They also spent some time covering what EMA does exactly for our community.

 The Class discussed everything from what the numbers and symbols on DOT placards represent to Unified Command to Emergency Planning and Hands on Drills.
