Last week, the City of Palo Alto and the Palo Alto/Stanford Citizen Corps Council honored 12 individuals for their work in emergency planning.

Three of the honorees have Stanford affiliations. BERNADETTE BURNES-LINE, administrative director for emergency management at Stanford Hospital and Clinics, and TOM PRUSSING, facility manager in IT Services for the university, were among the seven who received Achievement Awards. LISA PELLETIER, health and safety specialist in the School of Medicine, was among five who received Awards of Merit.

“The evening’s honorees are people who have given their time and energy, offered their skills and capabilities, been leaders in providing education and training, or responded to crises and disasters. As a result, they have positively impacted their communities,” the City of Palo Alto press release said.
