Greetings!
Its that time of year and this Hurricane season started us of with a pre-season kick off with Tropical Storms Alberto and Beryl. Living in Florida, we are faced with many dangers from severe weather. This year in particular, we want to make sure that everyone is ready for not only tropical events, but wildfires, severe thunderstorms and flooding.
So, with that being said...I want to make sure that you have every opportunity to respond both locally and nationally. It is important for us to know when you are available for disaster response.
I urge you to update your availability in the DSHR as often as you can this Hurricane Season. In addition, to this you may receive a call from the Chapter asking you for updated information, so that we can update our contact information for you.
You can update your availability by:
- Calling: 850-402-5616 and speak with our Disaster Associates.
Please remember to leave your full name, DSHR number and availability (for example: Aug 8-29th available or not available until 9/1/12) Thank you all for your hard work and dedication! In Red Cross Spirit, Katie
Katie Sherk Emergency Services Director
Capital Area Chapter
