The Power of Volunteers

A few days ago, a co-worker and I had the privilege to meet a number of Citizens dedicated to being prepared in Emergencies. These individuals were unsponsored, yet organized and motivated to give back to their community.

These Citizens should serve as a reminder to all Emergency Management Professionals that despite the economic climate in your area, there are still dependable, reliable Citizens just waiting to step up to the plate in the event of a disaster. If you are an Emergency Manager, take a moment to think about how you can recognize your hard working volunteers. Sometimes a simple pat on the back is all they need.
