Description

Emergency Disaster Services (or EDS) volunteers join The Salvation Army in providing physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort and support wherever and whenever disaster strikes.



As an EDS volunteer, you may help serve food from canteens, speak with grieving victims, or perform other duties to assist in disaster recovery and clean-up efforts. EDS volunteers are the kind faces and helping hands that support police, firefighters and other first responders while assisting families and communities to recover from floods, fires, and other tragedies.



EDS volunteers provide invaluable services to people during times of critical need. As an EDS volunteer, your assistance will only be needed during times of emergency.

Requirements:
Individuals who wish to go to a disaster site with The Salvation Army EDS team must be an adult - 18 years old or older. Those who are younger than 18, should contact The Salvation Army to find out how you can assist in a disaster.



Since volunteers need to be trained before deployment, local training courses are always being offered in various locations to prepare volunteers for a successful career as an Emergency Disaster Services volunteer.
