Volunteer Reception Center Training

On Saturday October 16th The Region 7 Healthcare Coalition sponsored Volunteer Reception Center training at the University Center in Gaylord. The 8 hour training covered the process by which spontaneous volunteers are vetted for use and can be put to work at a large scale emergency.

When a high profile emergency (like a lost child, widespread damage, etc) happens , the public typically responds to help. These volunteers arrive on the scene; sometimes in large numbers; and they can overwhelm an agency that is not prepared to manage them.

Emergency planners should have plans to establish a VRC near the disaster area to manage and utilized these unaffiliated volunteers. If managed affectively unaffiliated volunteers can be a valuable resource during an emergency.

“No man is an island.” We hear this phrase all the time, especially when it comes to responding large or small events but do people really understand the meaning of the quote and learn how to NOT be an island? Partnerships have always been the foundation of great responses and education is the building block of that foundation.
