In Case Of Emergency, Read Blog

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is soliciting nominations from citizens for “Individual Achievement Awards” honoring Americans “who have made a difference in making their community safer and better prepared.” According to the Citizen Corps webpage:

“These are people who have given their time and energy, offered skills and capabilities, been leaders in providing education and training, responded to crises and disasters, or simply made a call when they saw something suspicious. As a result, they have saved lives, property, or positively impacted their communities. These are the individuals we wish to highlight and celebrate.”

If you would like to nominate someone for an “Individual Achievement Award,” send an email explaining how that person has made a difference to citizencorps@dhs.gov with “Outstanding Individual” in the subject line by August 15th.
