Disaster Vol.Webinars:Responding to Cultural Needs
ON-LINE DISASTER SERVICES VOLUNTEER TRAINING
Are you interested in learning more about being an Emergency & Disaster Services Volunteer? Join us for this 4 Part Series which teaches how to interact with, and accommodate needs based on cultural and religious diversity during a disaster. This Webinar is a part 4 series and is intended to be taken as a unit. We encourage you to register for as many Parts of this Series as possible for maximum benefit.
With a rise in major natural disasters in recent years, people have an increased desire to help but few know how. We are hosting a series of training webinars to explain the role volunteer organizations play in a major disaster and to understand what it means to volunteer effectively during a disaster response. The training can be taken as standalone pieces of training or a series.
