EPC Committee Volunteer Opportunities

The Emergency Preparedness Committee is looking for neighbors who are interested in helping us out.

Radio Communications. During an emergency we utilize a system of radios to communicate with the various trained volunteers in the field. We need someone with experience in maintaining and programming radios and training volunteers in how to use them.

Search and Rescue. If you have had Search and Rescue training or CERT training, we invite you to join our Search and Rescue team.

Volunteer Management. In the event of an Earthquake or other emergency, the Emergency Preparedness plan assumes that many residents will be “spontaneous volunteers” assisting with all aspects of our emergency response. We need trained volunteers to recruit, interview, organize and manage these volunteers.

Pet Care. Following an earthquake, we assume there will be numerous lost pets that need to be gathered and cared for until their owners come to find them. We need volunteers trained to manage our Pet Care center.

If you are interested in helping out or have any questions please contact:

BE BRIGHT! STAY SAFE in the DARK

Wear something bright – clothing or reflector – or carry a flashlight when you’re out walking in the dark. You will be more VISIBLE and help yourself as well as drivers who don’t want to miss seeing you.
