In order to better manage volunteers and resources, FEMA is finalizing a guideline on credentialing volunteers for large-scale disasters. The federal guidelines indicate that volunteers responding to a disaster should be trained and certified. LCC is providing training for Lutheran Early Response Teams (LERT) throughout our district. Should a disaster strike these teams would be put on call and may be asked to deploy in 72 hours or less to the disaster site.
This training will prepare team member for credentialing and will focus on the safety, work, and ministry of Lutherans as Early Responders.

There are many positions that need filling; demolition, construction, food service, tool management, child care, church liaison, at home communication, puppeteers for entertainment, runners and office help to name a few. High school students can work out of the base camp, so training is available to them at a reduced rate.
