Ready to Respond to Save Lives...

Valley Animal Center Staff and Volunteers Join the Community Emergency Response Team!

If you've noticed some commotion at the Valley Animal Center this month, you might be getting a glimpse of the first volunteer responders in the event of a major crisis in our own town.

The Valley Animal Center is excited to be hosting Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) training at our facility, and for our staff and volunteers to be getting trained to respond to a disaster. This includes training on medical emergency support, search and rescue efforts, disaster support psychology, fire response (see picture below), and more

For more information on C.E.R.T. training, visit the Community Emergency Response Team of Fresno's website at http://www.certfresno.org/.

The C.E.R.T. students - including Director of Development Kelly Joos, Shelter Manager Ralph Elliott, Assistant Shelter Manager Lisa Gallyer, and VAC Volunteers Jackie Villicana and Ann Locey
