Description:
Change someone's life! Join our Disaster Action Team and help respond to small and large-scale disasters. Help families recover by providing food, clothing, shelter, and hope. Volunteers are on call to respond to local house fires, open shelters for evacuees, feed emergency response teams, etc.
Anyone can sign up to participate in a Disaster Action Team; we need people from all over the state with all sorts of backgrounds. We will provide you with the training and materials to help people when they need it most.
Licensed nurses, doctors and EMTs can also serve as Disaster Health Services volunteers and assist with meeting the health needs of disaster clients (help obtain lost medications or equipment such as prescription glasses, dentures, canes, etc). They staff shelters and also help clients work with hospitals, pharmacies, and insurance companies after a disaster.
Licensed mental health professionals may also serve as Disaster Mental Health volunteers and provide a range of services, from listening patiently to another volunteer's concerns and frustrations, to working with local responders in providing for clients who have specific mental health needs or conditions.
Opportunities are available statewide, contact us for more information!
