DON'T FORGET IT'S BE READY DAY

“Be Ready Day” will be from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Lunch will be served from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. Door Prizes will be given away. Come out and see what our community has to offer in the event of a disaster in Limestone and surrounding Counties. “Be Ready” is an awareness campaign to encourage citizens to be prepared for disasters and learn what to do in the event of a disaster. 

NOT WHAT BEING READY MEANS

All “First Responders” have been invited to set up their equipment and introduce themselves to the general public. Efforts to organize the Limestone County Voluntary Organization Active in Disaster (LCVOAD) began the early part of 2009. The mission of LCVOAD is to create an affiliated volunteer workforce to respond to emergencies. In this regard, LCVOAD and its member organizations play a critical role in both responses and recovery. LCVOAD is a humanitarian organization comprised of independent voluntary organizations active in all phases of disaster. The mission of LCVOAD is to foster efficient streamlined service delivery to people affected by disaster, while eliminating unnecessary duplication of effort through cooperation in the four phases of disaster: preparation, response, recovery and mitigation.
