Local Government Liaison (LGL)

Level Two Local Government Liaison training provides information to help facilitate expedient and efficient mission execution by improving communications between State, Local, and Tribal governments and Federal government agencies responding to a significant or emergency event. After training the team member will have the skills needed to support the Federal Team and provide assistance and advice to the Local governments in response and recovery missions. Without circumventing official communication lines, LGLs serve as the communications conduit ensuring that all parties understand relevant issues, priorities, and concerns. Team members also assist in successful mission execution of Corps emergency programs and the Planning and Response Team’s mission assignments to facilitate success.
