SNAP is a program created to bridge the gap between first responders and special needs families in the metro Chattanooga, TN and NW Georgia area. SNAP is a 2 part program. Part 1 involves training first responders on how to better respond to emergencies involving persons with special needs. Part 2 involves training parents and caregivers how to be prepared in case of an emergency involving their loved ones with special needs. SNAP is being organized by Lifeline Inc Executive director Lisa Mattheiss and Chattanooga Fire Dept Captain and Paramedic Skyler Phillips. SNAP was launched by LifeLine on January 1st 2017 with the first training being done at the Chattanooga Fire Training center by Capt Skyler Phillips. This training will continue to be given to Fire Departments, Emergency Medical Services and Police departments throughout SE Tennessee and NW Georgia as long as there is a need.
