Lending a Helping Hand

The Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) lent a helping hand to the Disaster Assistance Center in South Holland, Ill. on Friday. The Operations, Planning, Logistics and Intelligence (OPLI) section worked alongside Team Rubicon, a global community of veterans that provides disaster relief, to hand out decontamination kits and help educate residents on how to make their homes safe and inhabitable after a flood. Throughout the week, OPLI will continue to work with South Holland, Cook County agencies and various other volunteers to inform and protect residents around the community.
