RECOVERY & RESILIENCE
For outdoor recreation professionals, 2020 was a year like no other. Feedback from outdoor recreation professionals identified that both day use and overnight use was at historical levels. As agencies begin to plan for 2021, SORP has assembled five webinars around the theme of Recovery and Resilience. We are assembling your professional colleagues from the academic, private and public sector to share ideas and information. As we confirm panelists, we’ll be sure to update you. All sessions are 10am - 11am Pacific.
We are pleased to offer access to all of these sessions FREE OF COST to everyone. It’s important to SORP to be able to serve the outdoor recreation community through these types of training opportunities. We could not offer this important training sessions without support from our members and partners. Stay tuned, we will be offering future training series in 2021 on policy, climate adaptation, and outdoor recreation justice....

The nationally recognized National Fire Protection Agency 1194 Standard for RV parks and Campgrounds works in concert with the NFPA 1192 standard for RV manufacturing, and provides minimum safety requirements for general design, fire safety, environmental health & sanitation, and establishes uniform definitions. It also includes valuable “annex” sections that address typical site plan safety, sanitary disposal stations, operational guidelines, detailed site layout drawings, examples of the variety of RV types and a comprehensive glossary with detailed descriptions.
