BECOME A VAMRC VOLUNTEER

MRC volunteers will be going out into the community to deliver presentations on Family Emergency Preparedness. During the presentation we will answer the following questions:

Are we in danger? Assessing our risks.
What are Disasters?
What is Terrorism?
What is a family disaster plan?
What do I need when I evacuate?
How do you shelter in place?
What if we have a panedmic influenza outbreak or an anthrax attack?
How can I help my community and others?

We would love to be able to visit your civic league, church, or organization. Please email us at Teresa.Blakeslee@vdh.virginia.gov to schedule a presentation.
