CAPTAIN' MESAGE

 

 

On March 10th all Collier County Community Emergency Response Teams gathered for a very realistic county wide exercise to practice their life saving skills. For the second year in a row the VeronaWalk team clearly came out ahead of every other team. Had that drill been a real disaster, or emergency our team would have been  ready to help their neighbors,and do it safely. Congratulations VeronaWalk CERT.

Our next team meeting will be held on March 22 at 7:00 PM in our Town Center, a review of the drill will be held then.
