Be a Local Hero...Volunteer Today!
If You Have:
- An urge to take action in your community
- The desire to make a difference when you are needed most by applying your skills where they are needed most
- A need to be prepared to help yourself, your family, your co-workers and your neighbors in the event of an emergency situation or natural disaster
Then the Emergency Response Volunteer Collaborative of Central Ohio has a volunteer opportunity for you!
Volunteer Today: Be Prepared for Tomorrow!
Trained volunteers play a vital role in preparing for, responding to and recovering from an emergency incident or community disaster. Local emergency management departments and response agencies have limited personnel available when incidents occur. Disasters can strike at any moment and can affect even the basic workings of our community. That’s why, in these moments, everyone has a role to play.
When disaster strikes, there are those who need help and those who can provide help.
Individuals who want to help others, counsellors and medical personnel are critically needed as volunteers who are trained and prepared for local and national disaster response.
Who Can Volunteer?
Adults of all ages, skills and abilities are welcome. Both dedicated residents and medical professionals, 18 years of age and older, are encouraged to volunteer.
Don’t Wait for a Disaster. Take Action.
Join one of the volunteer groups in the Emergency Response Volunteer Collaborative of Central Ohio today and get prepared for tomorrow.
