Would you be ready if a large-scale natural or man-made disaster occurred in the community? It seems that every time we read in the newspaper of unexpected tragedies leaving families homeless and without basic needs like food and shelter. Would you be ready? You can, by attending this weekend's SEPA VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster) Training this Saturday, January 17th 9am-12noon at Partners for Families located 329 E. Main St. in Norristown. SEPA VOAD is part of a national collaboration of diverse organizations and citizens trained to meet community needs should a large-scale natural or man-made disaster occur. VOAD coordinates planning efforts and, during a disaster, matches community needs with services provided by member VOAD agencies. This cooperative effort has proven to be the most effective way for a wide variety of volunteers and organizations to work together in a crisis. Volunteers are trained to work before, during and in the aftermath of a large-scale disaster. VOAD offers members of organizations free disaster trainings.
