Whenever a disaster/emergency strikes, as Leon County Emergency Management and disaster response organizations work to respond to and recover from the event, volunteers will be needed to support this effort. If you are interested in assisting by volunteering, please provide us your information. Whenever there is a need for disaster volunteers, we will then be able to message you information on the current needs and how to connect with organizations that are requesting assistance.
In the event of a disaster Big Bend Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) partner organizations such as the Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Big Bend Disaster Animal Response Team, American Second Harvest of the Big Bend and others will be posting their critical needs on Get Connected. The best volunteers are trained in advanced. We encourage you to become affiliated with response and recovery organizations during blue skies, so that you can receive orientation, training and other information that will make your service more effective and meaningful.
