Volunteer Mobile Emergency Response Unit (VMERU) is a non-profit organization based in Austin, TX, dedicated to promoting the health, safety, and well-being of emergency responders. Founded by Sherry Lassiter, VMERU initially provided hands-on care for emergency responders at major incidents, offering rehabilitation services such as calorie replacement, hydration, and monitoring for cardiac stress. However, after Lassiter's passing in 2018, VMERU shifted its focus to online advocacy, providing resources and information to help emergency departments become self-sufficient in self-care.
Through their website, Rehabsector.org, VMERU shares valuable content on their Facebook page and collaborates with emergency responders to ensure they can continue their work effectively. They also redirect visitors to OnScene.us, where they can find up-to-the-moment public safety and EMS news and information. VMERU's dedication to supporting emergency responders and their commitment to promoting health and safety make them an essential resource in the Austin community.
