Last week, Governor Katie Hobbs presented LASER (Large Animal Shelters & Emergency Readiness) with the 2024 Governor’s Volunteer Award for Disaster Response and several LASER volunteers made a trip to the State Capitol in Phoenix. The Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith, and Family recognizes individuals and groups who have dedicated their hearts, hands, and minds to help strengthen communities and solve persistent problems within Arizona. The award for Disaster Response is given to individuals, groups, businesses, or organizations that help to prepare for, protect against, respond to, and recover from disasters and/or emergencies in the community.
Accepting the award, LASER Vice President Abby Harbicht said, “Our LASER volunteers have made this possible and we could not provide this service without the support of the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors and the Office of Emergency Management. We are grateful for the recognition.”
