Please join us in welcoming Loryn Timian to the California Gold Country. Region of the Red Cross! Loryn is the new Community Disaster Program Manager (CDPM) who will oversee Red Cross activities in the Lake/Mendocino/Colusa counties territory.
Loryn brings a comprehensive background in emergency management. Her experience includes an assignment with FEMA AmeriCorp where she acted as the FEMA/AmeriCorp liaison to the Red Cross. Her experience also includes an assignment as a government contractor with the National Risk Management Center.
In addition to hiking, skiing and playing with her dogs, Loryn is looking forward to getting to know her volunteer team, ramping up preparedness efforts, and making connections with the communities in her territory. One of her priorities is to onboard as many volunteers as possible to strengthen the territory’s resilience.
“We welcome everyone to please come join us. This is a good opportunity to learn emergency management and support your community,” said Loryn. “In grey skies or blue skies, we have something for everyone, so please join us.”
