Remember the most important part about Disaster Deployments: flexibility. Things won’t always be perfect. As one of the leaders in the field, we do our best to ensure a smooth deployment for you. However, each disaster is different, and we are all occasionally adjusting in real-time. Flexibility helps everyone stay calm and productive no matter the circumstances.
Have your documentation ready. You’ll need the following things when you arrive on-site:
Immunization records
I-9 identification (https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/acceptable-documents )
Have an emergency plan in place for childcare, pet care, employment leave, and residential care. Deployments often have only hours of lead-time before we need you on-site. Having a plan in place for all of these things means you’re able to take positions as soon as we call you!
Have a go-bag ready! Some things you might think about including:
One week’s worth of scrubs or class-appropriate work attire
The basics: cash, watch, toiletries, chargers, etc.
Paper and pencil (a small notebook for orientation and other meetings is a good idea)
Snacks: protein bars, trail mix, etc.
Be ready for a life changing experience! You can expect to meet lifelong friends, to have truly unforgettable moments, and to save lives!
