Hands On Sacramento
is a partner with the Sacramento Regional Office
of Homeland Security and Sacramento Region
Citizens Corps Council to coordinate volunteers
during local disaster situations and ensure those
wishing to assist are properly identified and
utilized based on their skills.
Hands On Sacramento fills
the following two roles in disaster response and
recovery:
The Emergency Volunteer
Center (EVC): When disaster strikes, Hands On
Sacramento staff and volunteers from their Emergency
Volunteer Corps, will be tasked with managing the
Emergency Volunteer Center. The purpose of the EVC
is to mobilize community volunteers by matching them
with volunteer opportunities at government agencies
and other organizations active in disasters. The EVC
provides a place where volunteers—individuals and
groups--can be effectively deployed and efficiently
processed. The EVC registers volunteers and
takes requests for volunteers. Volunteers are
matched to these requests and referred to where they
are needed.
If you are interested in
becoming part of the Emergency Volunteer Corps of
Hands on Sacramento, please go to
www.handsonsacto.org
and register on line under "Disaster and Emergency
Services".
Sacramento Region
Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD):
Hands On Sacramento is the coordinator for our local
VOAD, a coalition of faith- and community-based
organizations that assist with the needs of disaster
victims when responding to disaster. Sacramento
Region VOAD provides a more effective service and
less duplication during times of disaster by getting
together before disasters strike. This cooperative
effort has proven to be the most effective way for a
wide variety of volunteers and organizations to work
together during a crisis.
If you are interested in
Sacramento Region VOAD, please contact Valeri
Mihanovich at
