In the remote chance that the Town of Ocean Ridge is exposed to an aerosolized airborne anthrax attack, volunteers will be needed to distribute antibiotics.
Ocean Ridge has signed an agreement with the Palm Beach County Department of Health who will provide the needed antibiotics at no cost, as a part of a program under the auspices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This will allow our own trained and credentialed resident-volunteers to perform dispensing duties locally — whereas others may be required to line up at large public dispersal centers in the case of a bioterrorist attack.
All that is required of volunteers is that they attend about two hours of meetings per year.
To volunteer, please request a sign-up form from Terri Vinas at vinasfam@aol.com or contact Ocean Ridge Town Hall.
You need to be a member of The Coastal Star to add comments!
