Volunteer Best Practices

There are many organizations and faith-based groups in your community that have active disaster programs and need volunteers.

  • Join a recognized organization involved in disaster response and recovery BEFORE the next disaster, so you can have the opportunity to get trained BEFORE the next event
  • Everyone can help in some way.
  • Established groups can offer a wide range of services following a disaster.

    The generosity and kindness of people around the country does a lot to help communities heal from the tragic consequences of disasters.
