FIND MEANING AND PURPOSE

Though disaster management is complex, its mission is clear: to mitigate the harmful effects of disaster. A key component of mitigating the harmful effects of any hazard is a scalable plan that optimizes the available workforce and can be implemented when disaster strikes.

Volunteers, whether affiliated or unaffiliated/spontaneous, have various skills and resources they can offer during a disaster. When planned for, volunteers can make an invaluable impact by increasing response capacity through several different roles.

THE ROLE OF DISASTER-

RESPONSE VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers augment the community’s response capability by performing roles that require less technical training, allowing professionals to focus on the more highly specialized roles. This means volunteers may respond in multiple venues and hold varied roles throughout a single response.

AFFILIATED

VOLUNTEERS

Affiliated Volunteers (AVs) are volunteers who are directly attached to Sisters Take On Recovery Missions. They are trained for specific disaster response activities and may fill many different roles. These roles can include search and rescue, damage assessment, emergency operations center (EOC) work, volunteer registration, shelter management and so much more.

UNAFFILIATED

VOLUNTEERS

For instance, UVs can help with debris clean-up, mass feeding operations, and organizing, transporting, and delivering supplies. Allowing AVs to focus on their primary functions.
