Meet Wanda Vollmer, Founder of Peace of Mind Preparedness
As a child living on a ranch in San Luis Obispo, I remember the wildfires that would frequently threaten our property and livestock and will never forget being awoken in the middle of the night to evacuate during one particularly fast-moving fire. At the age of 24 I created my first preparedness and communication plan for my family and knew I’d found my calling.
I worked for the American Red Cross as a Community Engagement Manager, serving as the lead functional expert for Red Cross Preparedness programs and community partner development and reached over 10,000 individuals with community disaster education programs in addition to recruiting, training, and managing Community Engagement Volunteers.
In addition, I have completed the Monterey Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program. CERT focuses on disaster preparedness, search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations, and I’ve been asked by the Carmel City Council to serve on the steering committee to assist neighbors in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Peace of Mind Preparedness Services will be 15% off through May 11th for Carmel Chamber members!
