The Starke County Community Organizations Active in Disasters meeting scheduled for tonight (8/7) had to be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances.
Starke County EMA Director J. Nier proposed rescheduling the meeting for next week with a tentative date of Tuesday, August 14th. It will still be held at 5:30 p.m. in the lower level of Starke County Annex Building #2 in the Purdue Extension Offices.
In the meantime, citizens can brainstorm some ideas to bring to the table and existing group members are encouraged to recruit some friends, family members and colleagues who would be interested in joining.
The group is still actively seeking members as well as individuals who would be willing to serve on the board. If you have a passion for leadership and drive to provide assistance within Starke County please set aside some time to attend the meeting next week.
From the major flooding that was experienced at the beginning of the year to a house fire that leaves a family without anything at all, disasters can take many forms. The Starke County COAD encourages collaboration between local residents and officials in order to help the community be better equipped for disaster response and recovery.
If you have any questions, Starke County EMA Director J. Nier can be reached 772-9182 or jmnier@co.starke.in.us.
