Disasters can happen anywhere, at any time. From tornadoes and wildfires to unexpected local emergencies, communities rely on volunteers to step up in the aftermath. But without coordination, even the best intentions can create challenges instead of solutions.
In partnership with Marathon County Emergency Management, United Way of Marathon County is hosting a FREE Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) Training to prepare community members to manage and mobilize volunteers effectively in times of crisis.
Date: Wednesday, April 15
Time: 6:00PM - 8:00PM
Location: Marathon County Emergency Management, 1000 Lake View Dr., Wausau, WI 54403
Refreshments provided
Limited seating – register now
During this hands-on training, participants will:
- Learn how spontaneous volunteers are screened and processed in a disaster
- Participate in a mock disaster exercise to practice key VRC roles
- Be invited to join the Marathon County VRC team to help lead future response efforts if a disaster occurs
- Be prepared to make a real impact when your community needs you most
