Description
Your assistance is requested - and needed! Volunteers are needed to assist with:
County-Wide Mass Care & Shelter ExercisE - OCTOBER 30th, 2012, from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM (PDT)
Red Cross will be overwhelmed for at least the first few days after the next catastrophic earthquake. This mass care & shelter exercise will empower West Valley to be more resilient with little or no outside assistance.
Victim volunteers make ALL the difference for the exercise experience of our participants. It takes a partnership with the community to prepare for and respond to the catastrophic events we are vulnerable to in California.
What would you be doing? You would be provided specific instruction by an on-site Exercise Simulator of how to act as a "victim" in need of care & shelter after a catastrophic earthquake.
