ROCKWALL COUNTY VIP Volunteers Informed & Prepared

Public Health Emergency Support Volunteer Organization

ROCKWALL COUNTY VIP Volunteers Informed & Prepared is a volunteer organization developed to support officials during County public health emergencies where local hospitals and medical providers could not treat, prevent or handle the amount of people coming in seeking preventative care.

Recent disasters have demonstrated that emergencies need management by local people. Hurricane Katrina showed that the federal government might be severely limited in its initial responding role. Volunteers may be the only viable resource available in an emergency. In the wake of a catastrophic


	event, local communities must be prepared to provide supplies to 100% of their population. Rockwall County wants to pull together our entire community to become ready *NOW!* If disaster strikes, it affects us *ALL!*

ROCKWALL COUNTY VIP is under the direction and guidance of the Rockwall County Judge, Rockwall County Public Health Coordinator & the Rockwall County Sheriff’s Office.

ROCKWALL COUNTY VIP is striving to forge partnerships with our local organizations, and work together with established community groups for volunteer membership.

ROCKWALL COUNTY VIP will act to support emergencies within the County of Rockwall.

DISASTERS KNOW NO BORDERS!

ROCKWALL COUNTY VIP volunteers do not have to reside in Rockwall County. Many of our volunteers live in neighboring counties, but may work, shop or have family or friends in Rockwall County.

ROCKWALL COUNTY VIP wants to bring together people who have a variety of skills, who would like to make a difference in their community while responding to a crisis. We invite volunteers from all walks of life and backgrounds, 18 years of age & older, who want to make their community a better place in which to live.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE! SAVE LIVES!
