Volunteer for Disaster Response with SERV-OR




[SERV-OR-MRC logo-sticker size-no-border]

Join other health professionals and get trained, pre-credentialed and deployed rapidly to help those in need.

Licensed health care professionals are needed for disaster preparedness and response in the State Emergency Registry of Volunteers in Oregon (SERV-OR).  SERV-OR allows health professionals to register in advance so they are ready to lend a hand in the next public health emergency. However, only a small percentage of eligible health car professionals are currently registered.  Help ensure that everyone who is eligible to register with SERV-OR knows about it and is able to participate.

Disaster training provided
After an application is approved, registered volunteers have access to free online and face-to-face training.  Courses cover Basic and Advanced Disaster Life Support, disaster burn training, triage, personal and family preparedness, and the Incident Command System.  The Basic Disaster Life Support course provides a full day of CMEs, and the Advanced course provides two full days -- at no cost to registered volunteers.  Volunteers also receive an identification badge to assist with recognition during emergency response operations.

Why register now?
>From floods and hurricanes to possible terrorist attacks, our State and Nation need a cadre of trained professionals who:

  *   Are willing and prepared to deploy.
  *   Have registered with the State so we can verify them in advance of an emergency.
  *   Don't have to wait on paperwork to be completed before putting their skills to the test.

Minimum requirements
Any licensed health care professional with an active, unencumbered state-issued license or certification is eligible to join the statewide volunteer unit, known as the State Managed Volunteer Pool.  Additionally, some counties have a local Medical Reserve Corps unit that is actively recruiting.  Apply for both groups through SERV-OR<https://mail.dhs.oregon.gov/owa/redir.aspx?C=guDsgbkTIk2-lYaPvF6VBJq_M6KYVc8IpxOa1ZnaKH-GK8wTZR1qfNgF8O04kJ0vckZO-SYeN94.&URL=https%3a%2f%2fserv-or.org%2f>.
