The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency (VITEMA), the U.S. Virgin Islands Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VI VOAD), and the American Red Cross of the Virgin Islands invite residents to a citizen emergency response training set for June 24 on St. Thomas that will teach attendees how to act in an emergency before professional help arrives.
Faith-based organizations, nonprofits, private businesses and high school or university students are welcome to attend the free in-person ‘You Are the Help Until Help Arrives’ training. The first care someone gets requires no special skills and can potentially be the difference between life and death.
