Vermont Relief Update

More communities in Vermont suffered extreme damage in storms in May and more storms are predicted. Additional help is needed in the relief response. Assistance Request from Rev. Bill Elwell, VT Emergency Response Coordinator

Administrative Disaster Response Tasks

  • People are needed who can help with filing and data processing. A personal laptop would be required.
  • Also needed are people who would make calls back to affected residents. There is a script for this. People need to be able to communicate in a caring way and record information.
  • Training will be provided. The work will be done at a command center located on the first floor of Christ Memorial Church located at 1033 Essex Road, Williston, VT
  • A person who could help manage a list of volunteers and a rotation schedule would be helpful, too.

Case Management

We will also need to have people who can help with case management of clients affected by the floods. A two and a half day training for this will be provided by UMCOR. I have been asked by Conference Disaster Response Coordinator Doug Spanks to gather some interested names if we can while he is getting dates.
