Clark County Emergency Management Agency

Over the last several weeks, we’ve had the opportunity to provide Autism training to our first responders, and what an incredible experience it has been.

These sessions created an open environment where responders could ask questions, share thoughts, learn from one another, and gain a better understanding of the unique needs and challenges individuals with Autism may experience during emergencies and everyday interactions.

From sensory impacts and communication techniques to de-escalation strategies and resources available to families, every conversation helped build awareness, compassion, and confidence.

We are proud of the first responders who took the time to learn, engage, and grow. Training like this strengthens our communities and helps ensure every individual is met with understanding, patience, and support when they need it most. 💙

Mad River Township Fire & EMS now offers an optional safety sticker that provides first responders with helpful information about your residence during an emergency.

This simple tool can assist EMS, fire, and police personnel in better understanding important details when responding to your home.
