Enter info from Vol Registration Forms into database
◦Enter Requests for Volunteers Forms & Close out when filled
Your job is to enter the information from the Volunteer Registration and Request for Volunteers Forms into the database so that an accurate record can be maintained of who participated in the recovery effort, what kinds of work they did, and when it was performed.
After the initial influx of volunteers has subsided, you may have time to begin entering the referrals recorded on the Request for Volunteers Forms and to close out the completed Requests. As needed by VRC staff, print updated lists of the unfilled Requests and ask a Runner to distribute copies to Phone Bank staff, Data Coordination, Interviewers and, if requested, the VRC Director.
Even if you are familiar with the software being used by the VRC, please ask for a brief orientation before beginning your first shift. Accuracy is more important than speed. The information you enter will be used to document the number of agencies and volunteers participating in the relief effort and the number of hours served.
If you have difficulty using the computer, please ask for help immediately. Do not attempt to fix the problem yourself.
