Managing Spontaneous Volunteers in Times of Disaster

The Synergy of Structure and Good Intentions


Click here < http://nvoad.org/ManagingSpontaneousVol.pdf > to download a PDF file that was created and published with the generous support of The UPS Foundation. This publication is offered as a basis for developing a national strategy on working with unaffiliated volunteers and is based on an analysis of effective practices and models. It is an outgrowth of an earlier publication, Preventing a Disaster Within the Disaster: The Effective Use and Management of Unaffiliated Volunteers, which outlined the challenges involved in working with unaffiliated volunteers and offered recommendations on how to develop a national strategy.
