last night. There are half a dozen very
useful functions they can serve in emergency and non-emergency situations. More to follow…
Emergency Management Plan to
Be Revised: This is one of my goals
early in the year. We need to insert
who will handle volunteer coordination and where the emergency shelter will be
and how it will be staffed. I would
like to work up to a “rolling wheels” exercise sometime this coming fall.
Hope you have a Happy New
Year!
