Disaster Preparedness Training for volunteers November 9

Pet Patrol

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is hosting a class on November

9 to train volunteers to become public speakers on disaster preparedness and response.

RSVP is looking for volunteers who want to become part of a team to conduct

training sessions to educate other community members. The session on November 9 will

run from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The class will be held in the Sunshine Cafe at the Citrus County Resource Center,

which is located at 2804 W. Marc Knighton Court, off County Road 491 just south of Bev-

erly Hills. A meal and refreshments will be provided.

The goal is to educate Citrus County residents with disaster preparedness and re-

sponse information. Citizens will learn the importance of having a survival kit and a family

communications plan. Volunteer opportunities include: course training facilitation, citizen

recruitment, administrative support activities, and session coordination.
