HURRICANE HELENE VOLUNTEER RESPONSE OPPORTUNITIES
Southeastern Healthcare Preparedness Region - Volunteer opportunities
We appreciate your interest in supporting North Carolina’s medical response to Tropical System Helene.
Your volunteering, especially if you are currently affiliated with one of the Medical Response Corps (MRC) or the Healthcare Preparedness Coalitions, will have a significant impact on our community.
What’s the difference between them:
State Medical Assistance Team – Members are currently affiliated with a provider/agency, such as a physician group, hospital, public health agency, county, and etc.
Medical Reserve Corps – Members are volunteers that are unaffiliated with an employer, but have varying degrees of experience.
Become apart of a State Medical Assistance Team or Medical Reserve Corps, register here: https://terms.ncem.gov/TRS/firstTimeReg.do. Use this map to determine which healthcare coalition you should affiliate with https://hpp.nc.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/HCC-Map-2024-2025-scaled.jpg. Most in southeastern NC should affiliate with the Southeastern Healthcare Preparedness Region.
If you are interested in volunteering to assist in western NC and are a member of one of the above organizations, please complete the registration and vetting process by clicking here.
Once you have completed the vetting process, we will send schedule requests for the missions as we receive them. You may receive multiple requests each day.
