Volunteer brigades will help prep for disasters in area devastated by Woolsey fire

Los Angeles County Fire Department has started a partnership with the Los Angeles Emergency Preparedness Foundation to train volunteers in seven communities to be prepared before, during and after disaster.

Volunteer brigades will help their neighbors prepare for wildfires and other disasters in an area devastated by the 2018 Woolsey fire as part of a new program approved by the L.A. County Board of Supervisors.

The foundation, which is funding the program through private donations, will soon start recruiting for two groups of volunteers who will help not only with wildfires but earthquakes, floods and mudslides. One group must meet physical fitness requirements and will work in the field. The other will help with communications, logistics and education. The volunteers must participate in quarterly training sessions.
