Join S.W.E.E.T - The So What Else Emergency Team is a group of community volunteers who are willing to assist during disaster events in Montgomery County. We are an active communication chain that works together with the COAD (Community Organizations Active in Disaster-- you can check out the COAD website here). We have been building the community emergency responders vision for almost two years now, and the team is incredibly grateful for your interest.
Learn about the COAD here!

Additionally, through the COAD/SWEET there are ongoing opportunities to participate in trainings where one can gain speciality "tools" to be readily prepared in the event of a crisis or a disaster. These skills will be beneficial throughout life to have & take with you everywhere you go.
