Agencies will learn how to:
1) Access volunteers following a disaster;
2) Identify what disaster volunteers may be able to accomplish for their agency; and
3) What plans need to be in place now to be ready to enhance their agency’s ability to respond and recover if and when the time comes.
Volunteer Mobilization Centers, at the request of Howard County’s Department of Citizen Services, will serve as a point of registration and referral for spontaneous, unaffiliated volunteers following a disaster.
