Region 22 Volunteer Reception Center Purpose and Operations

The Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) will be opened at the request of the local Emergency Operation Center (EOC) and maintained until the EOC notifies the VRC and the United Way of Western Nebraska that there is no longer a need for the VRC.

The VRC will:

  • Register, assign and reassign volunteers
  • Background checks, if necessary and if time permits
  • Train volunteers as necessary
  • Collect and maintain data on volunteers
  • Track volunteers while they are participating in disaster response
  • Thank all volunteers at the conclusion of the event

The Volunteer Reception Center will operate using the National Incident Management System and the Incident Command System.
