TOUR OF EOC EMERGENCY SIMULATION EXERCISE

 
   
That's me with hard working representatives from Animal Care and Regulation, Cheryl Cayer, Interim Director, and Lisa Menheim, Public Education Coordinator at the emergency simulation.
     

Cherise WIlliams, Parks Animal Care Specialist is on hand to respond to the needs of animals in Broward County during a disaster.


 
   

On our tour, Chuck Lanza discusses what goes on at the EOC during a disaster.  He also introduced the Home Damage Assessment Program so they can send resources to where they are needed most.

     

Broward County is introducing a new program to help quickly identify areas of devastation, even before damage assessment teams are able to canvass the County. It’s easy and a great service to the community! The Home Damage Assessment Program asks residents to report hurricane damage to their home as soon as it is safe to go outside by calling 3-1-1 and reporting your damage by comparing it to photos 1-4 above.  Go to www.broward.org/hurricane
