Langley needs volunteers for emergency operations center

Langley is taking a somewhat unique approach in its Emergency Operations plan.  We are relying on volunteers!  We are looking for a few dedicated and talented people who will be trained to run an Emergency Operations Center.

In the event of a major emergency, the City's personnel and resources will be stretched quickly.  If necessary, the City will open and operate Langley's Emergency Operations Center (EOC), a communications center activated in the event of a disaster.  Here the City's volunteer staff will help to organize post-disaster response and recovery efforts with numerous groups within the county, region, and state in a coordinated approach.  The contribution of volunteers will be critical to the success of an emergency response here in our small town.

Few people outside the ranks of professional emergency managers and first responders get to be in the thick of things when an emergency occurs.  If a unique volunteer opportunity appeals to you, we'd like to talk.  Our EOC Volunteer Training Program begins on November 17.  To get more information about this program come to the public forum hosted by Langley's emergency planning consultants on Saturday, October 27th, at 10:00 a.m. in City Hall Council Chambers.  Please contact Lynn Sterbenz at (360) 929-6132 or sterbenz@whidbey.com for more information.
