Local Volunteers Needed..!
In the southern Electoral Areas, the RDN has designated the Cedar Community Hall and the Cranberry Hall as emergency Reception Centers, where evacuees can go to receive short term (typically 72 hrs) assistance with basic needs. But a very critical element is missing...trained volunteers to operate the site when activated during an emergency.
When disaster strikes and a Reception Center is opened, the best possible and most invested volunteers come from right within that community. Cedar and Extension have distinct community identities and local residents who become ESS volunteers are optimal. Their familiar faces may be the ones that you see welcoming you at the door, handing you a cup of coffee, doing registration and referral for services and helping to streamline the recovery process.
