Opportunity from LA Bucket Brigade

The Refinery Efficiency Initiative program at the Bucket Brigade needs a star intern. I am hoping you can help me find an intern with an interest in Disaster Preparedness to work on emergency preparedness issues with regards to refinery accidents. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recognizes that communities who live on the fencelines of hazardous industry throughout the state are extremely vulnerable to compounded risks of contamination and loss of life and property. Many of the fenceline neighbors we work with are the de-facto first responders during chemical accidents. DHS has agreed to provide CERT (Citizen Emergency Response Training) training to fenceline neighbors in the state. I need an intern that will work with our partners in fenceline communities to get people signed up to get trained and work with DHS to ensure a CERT training with a robust HazMat module.

Perks of the position: You yourself will become a CERT responder. Excellent case study on the intersection of environmental justice and disaster preparedness. Help make our voice stronger by becoming an eMember!
