JSU will host a campus-wide and community event in celebration of disaster resilience and volunteerism.

The symposium will focus on recent Alabama experience with the 2011 tornadoes and highlight the role of preparedness and planning for community recovery. Ready JSU Day is hosted by the Emergency Management Department in support of the Volunteer Generation Fund project, in collaboration with the East Alabama Emergency Management Coalition. The Volunteer Generation Fund project is made possible through a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service and Serve Alabama.
