Volunteers Needed to Support County-wide Preparedness

HOMEWARD of Mary Greeley Medical Center in collaboration with Story County Emergency Management is currently developing response plans for management of local disasters. The disaster could be a food borne outbreak, a pandemic flu, or the intentional release of a biological weapon.

In the event that thousands of residents in Story County would need to be vaccinated or receive antibiotics, mass clinics would need to be organized throughout the county to accomplish such a task.

HOMEWARD, which is Story's County Public Health Agency, cannot sufficiently staff these clinics without the collaborative help of volunteers like you. It is through your support that we would be able to provide preventative medical treatment to your family, friends and neighbors in the most efficient manner possible during a public health emergency.

 A few examples of volunteer opportunities at a mass clinic might include: answering phones, assisting clients with registration forms, data entry, assisting with setting up and taking down a clinic site, translation, or loading /organizing supplies.

HOMEWARD is a member of the Story County Coalition for Disaster Recovery (CDR). The CDR is officially registered as a Citizen Corps. Other members of the CDR include the Volunteer Center of Story County, RSVP, Red Cross, and United Way of Story County.
