H.O.P.E. Challenge Resources:
- H.O.P.E. Challenge Professional Development Resource List (Updated October 18, 2023): Training ideas, upcoming professional development, and more that can be submitted to the Challenge. Don't let the end of the challenge stop you from strengthening your capacity by gaining knowledge and skills needed to prepare you for an emergency or disaster event.
- Training Submission Form. An online form was used to submit trainings completed during the H.O.P.E. Challenge period - January 1 through October 31, 2023.
- Training Attendance Sign-in Sheet. When you organize a training event in your office or with your department, please have an attendance sign-in sheet. Attendance sheets can easily be uploaded using the online submission form.
