Personal Disaster Assistance (PDA) Responder

  • Your compassion and caring for those affected will help them focus on the next steps and recovery.  

  • When not responding, you will help your team remain prepared and may get involved with community disaster preparedness initiatives that reduce the impact of disasters in your community.   

  • You are willing to assist people in your community who are in need, and you can take on periodic on-call shifts.
