Disaster Preparedness Awareness, 2012
PFF Board made a decision to make Disaster Preparedness as its
goal. Foundation has partnered with Tulare County Medical Reserve Corps
in promoting awareness for the need for Disaster Preparedness,
recruiting volunteers for the Reserve Corps, arranging the regular
training for the various aspects of post disaster management and
facilitating local exercises in collaboration with the local hospital,
school district, and the city administration.
For its many efforts and involvements, the Foundation received a
National Award from the Division of Civilian Volunteer Corps. Of the 71
nominations nationally, PFF was one of the 18 to receive an honor as an
Outstanding Partner Organization, 2013. Dr. Pandya went to Washington
DC in June 2013 to receive the award at the hand of Deputy Surgeon
General of USA.
PFF is currently involved in monthly meetings for the training of
volunteers. Disaster Preparedness will be an ongoing project for a long
time to come.
