Following a disaster, ESF-15 Volunteers and Donations (Volunteer Polk and RSVP Polk), as outlined in Polk County’s Emergency Management Plan, is responsible for the coordination and management of unaffiliated volunteers and donated relief supplies. Unaffiliated volunteers are volunteers not already serving with an existing disaster relief organization or agency serving Polk County.
AFTER the storm, we will send periodic emails with updated available ways to volunteer. These emails will contain information about the opportunity and how to connect to the opportunity. If you would like to be notified of opportunities to assist in disaster response efforts AFTER the storm has passed, please click the "I want to help".
