INTRO TO DISASTER
Walk through a basic introduction of why and how we respond to disasters. This course is required for all volunteers to be credentialed.
CLEAN UP: LEVEL ONE
Ready to muck and gut or cut some trees? This Level One course introduces Clean Up operations and how we ensure safety on every response.
FEEDING: LEVEL ONE
Providing a hot meal is one thing. Providing 15,000 in one day requires some planning. This training introduces how we pull it off and how you can join us!
SUPPLY DISTRIBUTION: LEVEL ONE
This course introduces participants to a model for organizing and distributing donated supplies after a disaster that is both efficient for meeting physical needs and creates space for spiritual and emotional care.
Take Your Training Up A Notch
Once you step onto a response site, you won't look back. Next-level training will help you prepare to respond to the next crisis, increase your capabilities, and put yourself in a better position to support the response. What are you waiting for?
Grab Your Gear
Once you've completed training, you'll be ready to go the moment the next callout comes. Got your gear? Swing by the DR Shop for the latest hats, shirts, and gear to dress the part. We'll take care of the safety gear. You bring the rest.
