Santa Clara County Disaster Service Worker Volunteer Sign-Up
Background (i.e. Why):
The State Disaster Service Worker Volunteer Program provides certain protections for volunteers helping in a disaster and some training events. Registration with the Santa Clara County DSW program is needed by anyone who will be activated under SCCo DSW rules. This includes people participating in county-sponsored drills/exercises and, of course, real incidents. In particular, it includes all Mutual Aid Communicators (MACs), hospital net operators, and anyone else who wishes to participate in county-sponsored events, whether those events are in your city or elsewhere.
Who:
This activity is for anyone who plans to participate in county sponsored exercises or be activated by the county for real emergency incidents (including *ALL* Mutual Aid Communicators and "hospital net" personnel) and who does NOT already have a current DSW ID card.
If you have lost your DSW ID card, plan to attend this event and just re-register.
What:
This will be a group DSW registration session with a representative of the County Office of Emergency Management. OEM will administer the oath, sign your DSW form, and provide you with a new, signed DSW ID card with a 2022 expiration sticker.
Note: This is a separate event from the Credentialing Mini-Drill that will take place at the same location from 09:00 to 12:00. If you need to register for county DSW, sign up here, whether or not you plan to also attend the mini-drill. This will give us a count of how many people to expect.
How:
Download the DSW Registration form and the exemplar with instructions below. Print out and fill in the DSW form according to the instructions in the examplar. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully. Your form must be legible to be accepted. Bring the completed form with you to the registration event.
