Welcome! I look forward to meeting each of you and learning from your experiences and we explore how to apply the Collaborative Disaster Worker and Volunteer Credential Training to the challenges your collective organizations face when responding to disasters.

Partnering to ensure the Safety of our Workers and VolunteersÂ
Disasters have increased in frequency and in severity. We are faced with compound issues and a rising number of constituents in need. Our organizations are also tasked with finding new ways to serve while keeping everyone safe. How do we tackle such a mounting challenge while remaining resilient and healthy ourselves? The answer is true collaboration and partnership built on a very clear understanding of how we can complement each other’s mission.Â
The Collaborative Disaster Worker and Volunteer CredentialÂ
This is the first collaborative disaster Worker and Volunteer credential created by the organizations that will use it to keep their Workers and Volunteers safe and updated as to the skills they need to respond effectively in disasters and high-risk roles. Disaster Worker & Volunteer Credential Level Three provides leaders and managers with lessons on disaster response planning and management of workers and volunteers to ensure a safe disaster response that effectively delivers services to meet the needs of the impacted community and their survivors.Â
