Hurricane Isabel - September 2003
On Thursday, September 18th, just before Hurricane Isabel struck the
State of Virginia, CERT team members were asked to help staff the
Emergency Information Center, which was co-located within the
Charlottesville 911 Emergency Operations Center. CERT volunteers
were on hand fourteen hours a day from Thursday through Sunday answering
telephone calls from the 979-INFO line that was installed by the EOC to
respond to needs of our community. Questions regarding
shelter, downed trees and power lines, issues of food safety, ice,
showers, and many others were fielded by CERT volunteers and other
emergency personnel.
The pictures below are from the Emergency Information Center and show a
mix of CERT team members and other emergency responder personnel. |
