Disaster Program
The Volunteer Center Active in Disaster
The Volunteer Center of Napa Valley has an agreement with the County of Napa to be the convening point for all convergent volunteers during times of disaster. Working with the Napa County
Office of Emergency Services, the Volunteer Center would open up a Reception Center to aid in the registration and deployment of disaster volunteers depending on their abilities and strengths. These actions will assure that in time of flooding, earthquake or other major disaster the most vulnerable populations in Napa Valley are served, thus reducing the negative economic and personnel impact on the entire County.
CERT Community Emergency Response Team
The Volunteer Center of Napa Valley has an agreement with the County of Napa to be the convening point for CERT volunteers during times of disaster. When the floods struck we mobilized CERT volunteers to staff barriers and direct traffic, fill and deliver sand bags and other tasks. At the request of the City and County of Napa, the Volunteer Center of Napa Valley set up a Volunteer Reception Center in our office that processed over 300 volunteers who helped with shelters, damage assessment, traffic control, transport of disabled evacuees, mitigation of the flood effects for seniors and disabled in harms way, and the clean up of the homes and small businesses.
