Train Practically Everyone
This web page provides you with multimedia training, preplanning and response resources that are specific for your county. Designed to reduce common accessibility and participation challenges of busy first responders, ongoing access and flexibility of use allows an opportunity for all responders to train at times and places that work best for them.
Stay in district, stay in service… get a call, pick back up where you left off when you return. Use to enhance group sessions or complete online individually. Share in an annual or monthly meeting at your agency and incorporate in your next emergency planning and prevention collaboration. Seamlessly fit into your annual training and new recruit orientation curriculum and roll into your own internal training platform.
Developed by the Smalley Foundation and sponsored by the local pipeline operators shown below, your Practical Pipelines resources, materials and support are provided at no cost to you! Access annually updated content regularly to train, refresh, preplan and aide in emergency response.
