The training will provide local jurisdictions with the skills necessary to effectively manage volunteers that spontaneously arrive following a local disaster and how to effectively set up a Volunteer Reception Center.

Establish a Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) where large numbers of volunteers can be efficiently processed and referred to organizations who are in need of services.

A VRC is the place to process to register, screen, and place spontaneous volunteers in available opportunities in times of disaster. There volunteers are registered and interviewed to determine their skills and interests, provided safety training and a volunteer ID, and assigned to a suitable opportunity. The VRC is also where these volunteers will sign in and sign out for their work assignments.

Prepare to establish a VRC where large numbers of volunteers can be efficiently processed and referred to organizations who are in need of services.
