Thanks to the Hays County CERT members who worked a recent call-out for a structure fire in Wimberley. We also had folks out at the Founders Day event in Dripping Springs. These folks are everywhere in those fetching Chartreuse shirts!!

We can’t show all the photos of our fantabulous CERT volunteers but here are a few! We’re taking a moment to say thanks to Hays County CERT members, and not just because it’s
National Volunteer Week! (But partly because of that)😎

It’s a great time to honor the impact of volunteers on communities. These dedicated folks help us build a more resilient community and we are deeply grateful for their time, talent and commitment.
