Maine Responds

Description

Maine Responds is a partnership that integrates local, regional, and statewide volunteer resources to assist our public health and healthcare systems. It is part of a national initiative--the Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals or "ESAR-VHP"--to train, coordinate, and mobilize volunteers during an emergency.

Registering as a Maine Responds volunteer will help ensure that people affected by a disaster will receive the public health and medical care they need. Registration is the first step in meeting this urgent need within Maine and the nation.

Maine Responds (maineresponds.org) allows you to register as "willing to provide services during a disaster or emergency situation" (while being protected under state liability and workers comp protection). The registration system will collect basic information about volunteers and their professional skills.
