  The program will provide training and resources to help volunteers respond effectively to emergencies“Each program tracks its training. Each volunteer emergency worker should review the KCDEM Volunteer Handbook. (PDF) If an emergency happens, KCDEM will email qualified registered volunteer emergency workers. We will ask volunteers for their availability. If there are time slots, KCDEM will let the registered volunteer emergency worker know. Volunteers should consider personal life safety and family safety first. Then, registered volunteer emergency workers will opt to accept a mission or decline. If you decline, you may choose to volunteer at another time for another mission. KCDEM will confirm the registered volunteer emergency worker’s availability. Please note, KCDEM may manage a mission or it may be managed by a partner agency. Registered volunteer emergency workers will need to muster at their mission gathering spot. Bring your KCDEM badge and sign-in. There, the team lead will brief you before you begin your tasks. Each program may have slight variations on this process. Check with your program lead or the KCDEM Volunteer Coordinator via email or by phone (360) 307-5881.”
