This is a great opportunity for you to be a part of a local disaster exercise and to see how we work together to protect our community. The exercise will be Saturday, September 20, 2014 at the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport. Volunteers are needed from 7:30 a.m. until approximately 2:00 p.m. Volunteers should know that they will be outside most of the time for this exercise and can expect typical September weather. There will be a safety officer on site and all volunteers will have access to water. Lunch will be served after the exercise.
