VashonBePrepared held its annual meeting yesterday at the Vashon Emergency Operations Center.
A simple affair this year, many of our partner organizations reviewed the last year’s activities and plans for the year and the coming year. See our list of accomplishments which soon should reflect some of these activities.
A key item ahead is to hopefully upgrade the VIFR Training Center, and merge our EOC into this larger location.
VashonBePrepared’s board then voted in a new set of bylaws, which cleaned up some antiquated language, but primarily enlarged the number of our partner organizations – many of whom have been participating informally for years:
Mass care was also updated to reflect organizational changes there.
ACS: Robert Smueles
At Large:
CERT: Jan Milligan
Chamber of Commerce: Rick Brown
EOC Team: Rick Wallace
King County Sheriff’s Office: Isaac Patino
