Train With Purpose: SDIA DRM Training Seminar Coming to Heroes Ranch
Sheep Dog Impact Assistance is proud to host a special Disaster Response Mission (DRM) Training Seminar at Heroes Ranch on Saturday, May 16, 2026.
This hands-on seminar is designed for individuals who want to build practical disaster response skills, strengthen readiness, and connect with others committed to continued service and helping communities in times of need.
The training will feature Chadd Landress, a dedicated member of SDIA with decades of experience in disaster response, fire service, chainsaw operations, and community support. Chadd has served in disaster relief efforts across the country and continues to embody the SDIA belief that Helping Others Is a Way of Life.
Participants will also hear from longtime Sheep Dogs Jason Richardson and Mike Routen, who will provide practical first aid instruction focused on the foundational skills needed during Disaster Response Mission deployments.
This seminar combines practical application, safety awareness, and mission-focused leadership in a real-world training environment at Heroes Ranch.
