Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)
Volunteers of Louisa is coordinating with Louisa County Emergency Management personnel to form CERT
teams across Louisa County. The next free training sessions will be scheduled later this year. Teams
would be activated after an emergency situation such as a tornado, flood, fire or other major event.
Volunteers are needed in each area of the county to be the "eyes and ears" in their communities.
They will be trained to provide post disaster response to include situation evaluation, reporting to
emergency services and possible first aid response. For more information or to volunteer, please
contact VOL at 540 967-6095 or email director@thevol.org.
