Equipment Rodeo Showcasing DEMHS Region 4 ESF Assets

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Emergency management personnel involved in incident command and support are encouraged to attend this event. In addition to emergency management directors, this includes fire and police incident commanders, communications/dispatch professionals, public works directors, and emergency medical services.

• A sampling of equipment available for emergency response and recovery operations will be showcased.
• These mutual aid assets are supported by host communities and the State of Connecticut through federal grants and other sources.

The rodeo will be concurrent with the 2024 CT Emergency Management Symposium at Camp Nett on Tuesday, April 23.

There will be two sessions for viewing during the day:

• AFTERNOON SESSION: 1400-1600 HOURS
• EVENING SESSION: 1800-1930 HOURS

There will be a short pause in access to the rodeo area between sessions to allow a break for equipment hosts.
