| This past weekend, we had the pleasure of hosting a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) weekend class for the Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW!

The VFW has a proud history of serving others, and this training is another example of that commitment in action! By bringing CERT training to their community, they're helping fellow veterans and their neighbors develop the skills and confidence to lend a helping hand during emergencies.

Throughout the training, participants gained hands-on experience in disaster preparedness, fire safety, basic medical operations, and light search and rescue, learning valuable skills that can make a difference when they're needed most.

👏 A special thank you to the VFW District 4 Houston, TX for allowing us to host this class and to everyone who took the time to participate! We're grateful to have been part of this effort and appreciate your continued dedication to service and strengthening the communities we call home!

👏 Celebrating the People Behind the Scenes!

Please join us in congratulating Shawna Dobson, OEM Administrative Assistant, on being one of three recipients of the Carol Scott First Responder Memorial Scholarship, presented by the La Porte-Bayshore Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club of La Porte! 🎉

While Shawna may not be a first responder, her work is essential to supporting those who are. From coordinating our Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) to managing logistics, maintaining critical information, and connecting first responders, industry partners, and community organizations, Shawna plays an important role in keeping La Porte prepared every day.

Not everyone who supports public safety wears a uniform. Some work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure those on the front lines have what they need.

Shawna is also continuing her education in Public Administration, further demonstrating her commitment to professional growth and public service.

A special thank you to the La Porte Fire Department for nominating Shawna and recognizing the impact of her work, and to the Chamber and Rotary for investing in those who serve our community.

We are incredibly proud of Shawna and all scholarship recipients! This recognition is well deserved! 💙
