Ready Responders hold regular day jobs and live normal lives. But disaster strikes, they are prepared to help themselves, their neighbors, and their colleagues to recover and emerge stronger and more resilient. World Cares Center has combined two of its most powerful free tools into a one-stop resource to support Ready Responders locally and globally.
• A virtual emergency operations center
connecting responders, agencies, and
communities during disasters.
• More than 40 free training courses in the
Disaster Volunteerism Academy, available
24/7, 365 days a year.
• The Collaborative Disaster Volunteer
Credential has three levels, one common
credential for every disaster volunteer.
• One platform combining the RRN and the
Disaster Volunteerism Academy, with
single sign-on.
• In a crisis, coordination between experts
and on-the-ground volunteers is
imperative and must remain accessible to
all, free of charge.
• A virtual outlet for experts not on scene to
give real-time advice to those who are.
• Disasters don’t wait – trained neighbors
are often the first help on the scene.
• Keeping Ready Responders connected,
prepared, and supported before, during,
and after disasters.
• Create a free account on the Hub and
complete your training at your own pace.
• Earn the Collaborative Disaster Volunteer
Credential through Levels 1, 2, and 3.
• Join groups and discussions to coordinate
with responders and volunteers in your
area.
• Until launch, visit the current training
portal at readyresponderhub.org.
