FEMA COVID-19 surge teams undergo training in Las Vegas

The first FEMA COVID-19 surge response teams have arrived in Southern Nevada and members are being trained for their new mission, which will include door-to-door canvassing in an effort to increase vaccination rates.

In a Thursday post on Twitter, Gov. Steve Sisolak wrote he’s grateful to have FEMA on the ground to help with the COVID-19 vaccination program.

“After robust training & briefings, these teams will be joining our efforts to get more Nevadans vaccinated,” he wrote.

Sisolak’s post includes photos from a training session at UNLV’s Philip J. Cohen Theatre in the Student Union.
