Introduction to Southern Baptist Disaster Relief
This class is required for all new volunteers. The class will give an overview of the work of Disaster Relief and ministry with disaster survivors. We will also cover what to expect on a disaster response, what to bring, etc.
-
Feeding Team
This class will provide an overview of mass care feeding, whether using a church kitchen to prepare meals to support volunteers responding to a disaster or using a kitchen trailer unit to prepare meals for the impacted community. Emphasis will be given to operating procedures and food safety. This class will include classroom and hands-on kitchen work as well as online videos to be viewed prior to training day.
-
Recovery Team
This class will overview the work of the flood recovery and chainsaw teams beginning with the assessment process for what we do when we arrive on site to when we depart with emphasis given to safety. The Recovery 1 trailer will be available to review the equipment used. Although this is a physical ministry, many tasks do not require physical strength.
-
Shower and Laundry
This class will overview the operation of the shower and laundry trailers, with emphasis on safety, daily procedures and “guest service.” The class will include classroom instruction and an orientation tour of one of the trailers.
