Training
Required Volunteer Training
A new Federal mandate assures that leadership is clearly defined during a major disaster, and that there is a unified approach to incident management. In order to comply with this mandate, CityTeam now requires that all employees and volunteers involved with Disaster Response or working in a disaster have completed two straightforward internet courses.
Required Volunteer Training
CityTeam provides training and workshops for a community-based model to prepare volunteers to immediately respond to local and national disasters. Through this training, participants will also learn how to prepare disaster relief plans for their own families, schools, churches and other local organizations. Please contact us for more information on our courses or training schedules.
Next training course dates to be announced: please check back for updates.
