SE MN Disaster Response Spring Training

Adventist Community Services (ACS) volunteers provide disaster response services through the ACS Disaster Response (ASCDR) Ministry to assist individuals, families, and communities affected by natural and man-made disasters and unforeseen tragedies. ACS has developed an expertise in Donations Management through Multi-Agency Warehouses, Collection, and Distribution Centers. During other responses, ACS has assisted as requested by feeding survivors and first responders, chainsaw teams, debris cleanup and mucking out, temporary roofing, spontaneous volunteer reception centers, and in-home repair as part of long-term recovery (LTR).

ACS is involved in the four phases of disaster response: Preparation, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery, to ensure volunteers are efficiently matched with community needs . Local disaster response teams are coordinated through a local church or ACS center, conference, and regional/ Union Conference. As a founding member of NVOAD (National Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters), ACS partners with other members, such as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, through Collaboration, Communication, Cooperation, and Coordination. We also engage with local, State and National government partners, such as Emergency Management Teams and FEMA. Ever thought about volunteering through your local church or ACS center?
Join us for our Spring Training Weekend! The MN Conference ACS Team will provide ACSDR training so you can become a General Volunteer and respond to disasters in your local community and state.
