Disaster Preparedness & Recovery Assistance

The Jones County Volunteer Center and the Jones County Emergency Management Agency partnered in 2014 to form an official Emergency Volunteer Center (EVC) for Jones County. The purpose of the EVC is to manage volunteers and their safety during large scale events, including natural disasters. The EVC is focusing on training volunteers on EVC operations and action plans, recruiting new volunteers, and planning a disaster drill in Jones County. Volunteers come from all walks of life and are only required to attend an EVC orientation and basic training. Once completed volunteers have the option of continuing their disaster training to the extend they are interested in.  This is a great opportunity for those who want to assist in time of need but may not have the physical capability of the man power needed for clean up efforts.  Call us today to get more information!
