Emergency Shelter Volunteers Needed
Have you often wondered what you can do to help your town in
the event of an emergency? If you are a Pittsfield resident,
you can help your town by becoming a volunteer for the
Emergency Management Shelter Organization. The Pittsfield
Emergency Management Team is looking for volunteers to work
the shelter in case of an emergency that results in the
shelter being opened up. You do not need any special
experience to volunteer as we will be providing training;
however, we are looking for those with medical background
(nurses, medical technicians, retired doctors/. Dentists and
so forth); mass feeding experience; and child care.
Basically, to volunteer, there are two steps to take:
1)
Contact the Emergency Management Shelter Director, Merrill
Vaughan at 603-344-0264 with any questions you might have
2) Fill out a
Volunteer Application and drop it off at the Town Hall.
Currently, this is open to only Pittsfield residents only
who are at least 18 years of age and have computer and cell
phone access.
