♦ Clearly designate one entrance and one exit
♦ Set up the room for efficient flow of volunteers and information
♦ Brief and assign tasks to staff and volunteers of the center
♦ Monitor the operation and make staffing changes when necessary
♦ Maintain all records of safety and job training provided to volunteers, and hours worked in the VRC by employees and volunteers
♦ Turn all records in to the County Budget Department weekly or at end of the activation
You should meet and thank all volunteers who help in the VRC and instruct them to sign in and out on the Volunteer Sign-in/Sign-out Record daily. Instruct paid staff to sign in on the Employee Sign-in/Sign-out Record daily. In a fast-paced disaster response, both paid and volunteer staff will need regular reminders to sign in and out.
