Volunteers Needed To
Help During an Emergency
Every emergency response is a coordinated effort. Officials and
volunteers must work together to save lives and protect property.
Emergency officials all agree volunteers are absolutely necessary in the
event of an emergency. During a
public health emergency - such as a terrorist event - help might
be needed at central locations. At these clinics, we may
need people to:
-
Distribute information..
-
Help patients complete paperwork.
-
Direct traffic.
-
Staff an informational hotline.
-
Load and unload supplies.
-
Provide child care.
-
Prepare meals.
-
Provide security.
-
Distribute medications.
-
Give vaccinations.
If you would like to be an
asset to your neighborhood or community in an emergency, consider
joining the PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY VOLUNTEER RESERVE (PHEVR).
You do not need to be a health-care professional to join. Call
your local public health office for more information.
