United Way of Hernando County has an ongoing Disaster Relief Volunteer database of citizens who may be called upon in case of a disaster. Volunteers will be matched accordingly with the needs of the community. If you are in the medical, construction, transportation, communication, labor force, food service, security, and/or counseling fields, the community would need your help.
To fill out a Disaster Relief Volunteer Application, click the RESPOND button either above or below on this page. You will be on standby and contacted should your expertise be needed in Hernando or if volunteers are needed for misc. duties.
Disaster Relief Volunteers are designed to build new alliances between volunteer managers and a variety of emergency management, first responder and community organizations where needed the most.
Make sure you are comfortable during your volunteer hours. CLOSED TOED SHOES ARE REQUIRED. The following items are suggestions for your personal volunteer emergency kit: snacks, drinks, bug spray, flashlight, extra batteries, hand sanitizer, lawn chair, and any personal medications needed. Remember, this kit is for you personally in order to keep you working comfortably during this time.
