Hendry EM Director Rick Lehmkuhl and Brenda Barnes, Public Information Officer and Planning/Preparedness Coordinator for FDOH Hendry/Glades facilitated a tour of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
The Girl Scout Troop learned about preparing for all hazards such as hurricanes, floods, fires and pandemics. They were impressed by the EOC Situation Room where agencies coordinate disaster response, as well as the huge communications tower and the helicopter-pad! The girls also created a small individual first aid kit while they were at the EOC. They will be earning their First Aid Badge very soon.
