The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, the Monmouth County Office of Emergency Management and United Way of Monmouth County have launched a recruiting campaign to seek volunteers who can assist in the staffing of evacuation shelters during emergencies.
This program is being conducted through a memorandum that was entered into by both agencies in August 2012 in an effort to increasingly engage other Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster into the Monmouth County Emergency Operations Plan, according to a press release.
The concept of the initiative is based upon the Office of Emergency Management’s desire to build and strengthen public private partnerships while engaging organizations that are crucial to emergency preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation, according to the press release.
The Monmouth County Office of Emergency Management, in partnership with the United Way of Monmouth County, will hold information and registration sessions from 7-9 p.m. May 15 and 10 a.m. to noon on May 17 at the Monmouth County Office of Emergency Management, 300 Halls Mill Road, Freehold Township.
For more information and to register for the information session, contact Kaarina Romero at 848-206-2042 or email to [email protected].
