INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />SUPPORT ALLIANCE FOR EMERGENCY RESILIENCY <br />Helping our community prepare for and recover from disasters one person, <br />one family, one neighborhood and one business at a time. <br />ONE YEAR LATER WHAT IS SAFER UP TO? <br />Last year we stood before you and received our Proclamation for SAFER Indian River County. <br />We wanted to share a few highlights with all of you! <br />• We have trained over 200 people who make up Community Emergency Response <br />Teams with 120 of them being trained in the last year! <br />• We continue to engage our community partners encouraging them to work together <br />to achieve common goals in preparedness. We have done this by presenting <br />mitigation workshops, conducting training and participating in exercises. <br />• We have been assigned and endorsed by Emergency Management to represent ESF 15 <br />(Volunteer and Donation Management) for Indian River County in times of disaster. <br />This was tested in the statewide hurricane exercise conducted in May of 2014. <br />• We are partnering with the Humane Society in the creation of H.E.A.R.T. (Humane <br />Emergency Animal Response Team) and have provided training to over 30 people so <br />far. This is just the beginning! <br />WHAT ARE OUR GOALS FOR THE NEXT YEAR? <br />• We are creating a hands on teen safe driving program in partnership with IRCSO and <br />IRSC....more to come. <br />• Fire safety programs for vulnerable populations. <br />• We are working on becoming the second county in the state to receive the <br />"SAFE Community Designation" from the National Safety Council. <br />We are busy supporting our Emergency Services in Indian River County <br />creating a resilient and safe community! <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY - WE ARE SAFER! <br />2 <br />
