Operation Safeguard

Operation Safeguard seeks to promote resilience for children and youth in disasters by training Indiana youth in essential principles of disaster response. When disasters strike, youth need to have a sense of competence and involvement. Participation in Operation Safeguard will help equip youth to be active and productive participants in disaster response and recovery, with a special focus on helping to protect children impacted by disasters.

Operation Safeguard is a free, six-day full immersion academy that will be held in central Indiana. Youth will interact with a variety of personnel with emergency response and homeland security responsibilities at local, state, and national levels. The camp culminates in a full-scale mock disaster exercise and graduation ceremony.
