3-4:30PM Emergency Evacuation Training Volunteer Orientation @ The Library
Last summer, several fires along the front range made it necessary to evacuate hundreds of horses, cows, goats, llamas, alpacas, etc. from endangered areas. The livestock was kept fed, watered, and safe by the volunteers of the Jefferson County Horse Council's Emergency Evacuation Team. If you would like to help with this effort, consider joining them this afternoon for an introductory training session at the Library.
Join us for an in-person Emergency Evacuation Team orientation session at the Golden Public Library. This orientation will cover the mission of the EET, its history, the phases of an evacuation event, a discussion of the team’s structure and responsibilities, and an overview of the fairgrounds facilities. This orientation session is open to all, including new and prospective volunteers, and former volunteers who wish to return or need a refresher. Since this will not be a hands-on session with live animals, those under the age of 18 are welcome to attend to get a head start and to learn about how they can become involved in the future.
Please fill out an application here before the meeting if possible. We will have paper copies available if you cannot access the application online.
