HO025 How to Start a Disaster Volunteer Program - Interactive Webinar Training

How do housing counseling agencies go about establishing disaster volunteer programs? What resources are available? How can community resources be utilized to build resilience in the face of natural and "man-made" disasters?


This webinar will help housing counselors and program managers understand the very real impacts of disasters on their clients' communities and housing. Utilizing a grassroots, volunteer "block captain" led model housing counseling agencies can position themselves at the forefront of disaster preparation and recovery efforts.


This faculty-led webinar training will last 90-minutes and include resource materials, check and reflect activities, interactive polling, and participant Q & A with the faculty. A quiz will be open at the conclusion of the session which must be passed in order to obtain a certificate and credit toward continuing education hours. Participants can access the training site upon registration and begin looking at the available resources prior to the live online training session. Participants will complete the quiz and print their certificate immediately after the live session.

This course provides 1.5 hours of continuing education.
