As the experience with 9/11/2001 and the recent hurricanes have shown, volunteers are a critical resource for responding to emergencies. And, as this experience also shows, volunteers can be the most complex resource to utilize. The greatest challenge involves getting volunteers with the right set of skills to the right location at the right time. Accurate profiling and verification of each volunteer’s skills and credentials, plus efficient mobilizing of those volunteers to places where they are critically needed, are the keys to effective volunteer emergency response.
Global Secure Volunteer Mobilizer effectively manages large groups of specialized individuals or partners that play a role in public emergency preparedness and response, from volunteer registration and profiling, credentials verification, application approval, ongoing communications, and emergency alerting and mobilization. Global Secure Volunteer Mobilizer is a customizable, off-the-shelf application that can be installed on your own network or hosted by Global Secure Systems. It meets all HRSA Guidelines for developing an Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (ESAR-VHP) and meets the requirements for National Incident Management System (NIMS) resource typing.
