Central Virginia EMS Expo 2010 -  Open Registration Announcement

Bon Secours Richmond and Henrico County Division of Fire are pleased to announce that registration for the Central VA EMS Education Expo 2010 is now open.  Hurry!  Classes fill quickly.

 

The Expo schedule and class descriptions are available for your review. We were forced to make some adjustments from our original itinerary; therefore everyone who was previously registered in February will need to re-register.  We have added some new classes and opened up a few more spots for those who were unable to secure their participation in February.  Please visit our links on HenricoFire.org for these documents.

 

Our actual registration process is slightly different.  Instructions can be found on the registration link below and on our Expo Page.  Registrations are compiled once per day at 4:00pm.  You should receive an Expo confirmation email 24 – 48 hours after you submit your registration.  If you do not receive your Expo schedule confirmation email after 48 hours, please contact Laura Cleveland @ Cle56@co.henrico.va.us.  We hope this new process will stream line our registration procedures. 

 

We appreciate your patience during this process and we look forward to seeing you at our first Education Expo on March 20^th and March 21^st.

 

Sincerely,

The Central VA EMS Education 2010 Staff

Tier II Reporting System Now Online

What is the Henrico Online Tier II Reporting System? Beginning with the 2009 Reporting Year, the County of Henrico will enable its businesses to submit information online to fulfill a portion of the SARA Title III, Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know (Tier II) reporting requirements using the Online Tier II Reporting System. A few of the main benefits for online reporting are: chemical inventory information can be reviewed and revised throughout the year as inventories vary; submitters can log in, access existing records, and make edits to the existing information anytime; the process eliminates the need to submit redundant information each reporting year; and supplemental files, like a site plan, can be attached and submitted online, as part of the report.

The Tier II reporting process consists of the following processes: (1st year that business submits information online)

1. Business contact applies for user account
2. Once, user account is approved, user enters facility details; including chemical and storage information; repeat for each chemical as needed; then upload attachments
3. Certification of Tier II form

For additional information, see the Tier II User Guide (PDF, 2MB).

Questions? Please email: henricotier2@co.henrico.va.us or call at (804) 501-4900.
