Exciting Training Opportunities and General Session Spotlight for 2025 NJEPA Conference

As we prepare for NJEPA’s upcoming 2025 conference, April 7-11, we’re thrilled to share a glimpse of what’s in store. This year’s event is shaping up to be one of the most robust yet, with training, breakout sessions, and a compelling general session that you won’t want to miss.

Certification Courses with CEUs Available

Our lineup of certification courses is designed to meet the needs of fire, EMS, and emergency management professionals. Whether you’re seeking to expand your expertise or fulfill continuing education requirements, we’ve got you covered. Attendees will be pleased to know that many offerings include CEUs, making this a valuable opportunity for professional growth.

Breakout Sessions Led by Local Experts

This year’s breakout sessions will feature subject matter experts from New Jersey and beyond who bring firsthand experience in managing response and recovery both within the state and across the nation. These sessions will provide practical insights into several critical areas, including:

• All-Hazard Preparedness
• Domestic Preparedness
• Health Care/Public Health
• Policy and Planning
• Response & Recovery
• Weather-Related Events

Whether you’re focused on honing your all-hazard response capabilities or improving your organization’s resilience to weather-related challenges, these sessions will offer actionable takeaways.

Spotlight on the General Session: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

We’re proud to highlight this year’s general session, which focuses on the Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse in Baltimore, Maryland, on March 26, 2024. This catastrophic event was triggered by the cargo ship Dali losing power and colliding with the bridge, leading to its rapid collapse.

Though quick action prevented a greater loss of life, six construction workers tragically perished, and the supply chain and financial repercussions are still being felt. With New Jersey’s critical infrastructure of bridges and ports, this session is a must-attend for anyone involved in emergency management, planning, or response.

At the session there will be a panel of experts who were directly involved in the response to this incident. Their firsthand accounts and lessons learned will provide valuable insights to strengthen planning and response efforts in our own community.
