Volunteer Mobilization Center - New Member Orientation

When an overwhelming disaster strikes Whatcom County, we all know what’s going to happen: hundreds of us will show up the next morning to help out in any way we can. That’s just what we do.

In an effort to organize all the help that shows up, the Volunteer Center will staff a Volunteer Mobilization Center (VMC) that checks in and assigns volunteers, based on needs. Think of this as organizing the chaos. Consider joining this team by volunteering at the VMC when a disaster strikes.

The Volunteer Mobilization Center (VMC) is part of the Whatcom County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan maintained by Whatcom County Sheriff's Office - Division of Emergency Management (WCSO-DEM). The VMC Committee has scheduled an orientation meeting for new recruits. Committee members and existing VMC volunteers will be on hand to explain the organization’s purpose, scope and work completed to date.
