EMA Volunteer

Volunteers are able to learn more about DCOHSEM and work with staff members on projects.

Administrative support helps accomplish tasks more quickly, and provides better service to our partner agencies and the community.

In the event of an actual large-scale emergency or disaster, volunteers may be called upon to assist in the EOC answering phones or serving as a runner.

Job Standards: Attention to detail required.

Familiarity with office equipment (computer, copier, printer, postage meter) helpful.

Experience with MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) a plus but not required.

EMA training will be provided within the first year.

Staff may recommend independent study courses to assist with understanding of the roles and responsibilities of emergency management.

Volunteers may also participate in certain courses hosted at the EOC.

Essential Functions: Volunteers will perform a variety of tasks that vary weekly.

Common tasks include: * Data entry * Mailing letters and training certificates * Updating records * Working on grant or planning information * Researching resources for logistics documents * Assist DCOHSEM staff with outreach * Participating in drills, exercises or training * Other tasks as directed by DCOHSEM staff
