Emergency Response Team
Marilyn Lee, Co-Chair
Helen Louis, Co-Chair
In these days of COVID-19, we are reminded that our health and safety are paramount. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, being an advocate for the safety of its members, requires all chapters to prepare an emergency evacuation plan. Thus, the Atlanta Alumnae Emergency Response Team anticipates emergency situations and prepares members to evacuate and survive natural disasters at the local level as well as per national mandates.
Although the Atlanta Alumnae Emergency Response Team consists of a small group of professionals and retirees in the areas of healthcare, social work, counseling, psychology, law enforcement, and clergy, all chapter members will be involved individually, collectively, and collaboratively.
The vision of the Delta ERT is to assist chapters in achieving sound preparedness planning and practices by developing guidelines and references necessary to aid chapter members in their individual and collective preparation, in order to receive expeditious and swift restoration following a disaster.
- Increase awareness about emergency preparedness activities.
- Provide structured and systematic training for the membership’s Readiness, Response, and Recovery efforts.
- Provide steps for early response and efficient recovery.
- Provide resource support and guidance for sorority members and the communities impacted by natural or man-made disasters.
- Provide effective and immediate communication strategies to facilitate and aid in preparedness and response.
Let us all be pro-active and not reactive so that we are Ready, can Respond, and all Recover.
