VISTA volunteer developing emergency plans for area’s vulnerable residents

January flooding throughout much of the mid-valley is a reminder to area residents that it’s important to be prepared for any emergency, according to VISTA volunteer Anthony Vendetti.
The 25-year-old Seattle native is spending a year with the city of Albany developing emergency preparedness plans for vulnerable residents such as the elderly or persons with special needs. They are most likely to be at risk of homelessness in the event of a major emergency or disaster.
