40 people needed for Volunteer Reception Center Training
Guest blog by Donna Lake, Norwood Health Dept. Commissioner
The Norwood Health Department and Cincinnati Health Department are collaborating on a training to be held at Norwood High School on July 28th from 9 am to 3 pm. In the event of an emergency, we know that spontaneous volunteers will be everywhere and willing to help. Experience tells us that you cannot have volunteers just show up at a disaster site. There needs to be an organized way in which volunteers are registered, credentialed and utilized. That is done at a “Volunteer Reception Center.” The training on July 28th is designed to introduce folks to how to set up and man a VRC so that much needed assistance is coordinated. The training will consist of classroom presentation/lecture and then followed up with an actual set up of a Volunteer Reception Center.
The training is free and we need 40 people to take part or it will have to be cancelled.
