Volunteer Opportunities
In an emergency or disaster, it is very likely that the emergency responders and professional aid organizations will focus on The Strip and city centers, which means it may take days until they arrive in Anthem area. During that time, we are the help - until help arrives.It is very important that we have a large base of volunteers who can help in such a situation. We welcome all backgrounds and abilities, and following are a couple of examples we always need:
- Emergency Response Leaders
- Logistics
- Staffing
- Planning
- Communications
- Amateur Radio Operators
- Disaster Assessment Volunteers (training provided)
- Presenters & trainers
- Medical background
- Social worker/psychologist
- Law enforcement
