| United Way of Northern Arizona has signed a memorandum of understanding with the City of Flagstaff to provide coordination of volunteers during “emergencies, disasters or special events” as determined by City officials.
The agreement is similar to one that UWNA has had with Coconino County since 2010 in the aftermath of the Schultz Fire.
UWNA will use Volunteer Hub as the management website for volunteers for both the City and County. The website includes the Volunteer Service Agreement that volunteers for the City need to complete before engaging in any volunteer work.
Last year, UWNA helped coordinate around 20 volunteer crisis response events over the spring and summer, as the region contended with multiple wildfires and monsoon season flooding.
By mid-August, more than 400 local volunteers had put in 1,550 hours, including post-Tunnel Fire cleanup, replenishing sandbags in Sunnyside, and a massive effort to create and place hundreds of thousands of new sandbags for anticipated flooding in new burn scar areas.
If you have a heart for volunteering, please register with Volunteer Hub. In addition to emergency response for the City and County, UWNA also manages volunteers for special initiatives, such as the upcoming KinderCamp™ summer school program. |
