UPDATE
An update on a recent story from the pages of CL: September 2021
The 411 on a 911 Crisis
Much accomplished, much left to do
by Laura Emery S taff Writer
I
t takes time to make big things
happen. Sherry Herzing, of Brunswick
County, Va., can attest to that.
But Herzing, through the LKG 911
Community Task Force she started three
years ago, won't stop putting in the time
and work necessary to address the E-911
crisis in the Lake Gaston area.
As reported in the September 2021
Cooperative Living story, " 47 Minutes, "
Herzing's husband of 43 years died of a
heart attack after precious minutes were
lost when a 911 caller was unable to reach
the correct county and state 911 center.
We shared how Herzing turned grief into
grit and formed the LKG 911 Community
Task Force. The story is available at
co-opliving.com/316/coversept.
Herzing says the group's life-saving
message is now reaching more citizens
through partnerships with
community-devoted organizations.
Helpful Hands & Hearts of LKG
and the Roanoke Valley help supply
911 reflective house numbers where
a home access ramp is built, she says.
" Brunswick and Warren County
leadership have worked to get
bridges over Lake Gaston marked
with identifying signs so residents
and visitors know where they are
when they call 911. "
The task force group continues
to facilitate meetings between first
responder teams in the five counties
surrounding Lake Gaston to discuss

Coordinator and Sherry

challenges and best practice solutions,
such as proper routing and transfer
of 911 calls.
Future initiatives include adopting
legislation to reclassify the 911
dispatcher job from clerical to first
responder with commensurate benefits
and certification, as well as developing
solutions to retain volunteer and
paid first responders in rural areas.
And though it seems like there is
still so much yet to do, Herzing says,
" We'll keep going until we accomplish
what needs to be accomplished. " 
