Shelter response team members support local response activities to provide care and comfort to communities impacted by a natural disaster. Activities within a shelter may include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information, or other areas within a shelter.

    Why is the role important?

    Our disaster shelter response teams are there to provide care and comfort to our communities while displaced during disasters. Natural disasters can strike at any moment, and we are working to prepare our communities in case that happens.

    Attend one shelter team update/virtual meeting per month

    Flexible availability

    Shelter shifts can be 4-, 6- or 12-hours in our region. Opportunity to deploy outside of our area to help would require a 2-week commitment.
