ObjectiveBackground
People, both those affected directly and indirectly by the disaster, often wish to volunteer and thus be part of the solution. Many of these folks are better able to heal when they are able to feel useful and distracted from their own problems.
In the past, many of these people were turned away by relief agencies for reasons including a) the volunteer's lack of training b) lack of trainers within the organization c) no process to record volunteers and their abilities.
ObjectiveGoals
To work pre-event with all agencies that use volunteers and find an acceptable means for them to welcome and use walk-up volunteers.
To design, implement and deploy a method of registering all walk-up volunteers, including their skills, languages spoken and interests.
To match those volunteers with an appropriate agency that is willing to accept and integrate them into their volunteer community.
