Emergency Management Services for Non-profit and Benevolent Organizations
While I’ve never held a position within a volunteer or non-profit organization, I volunteer as a group facilitator with a mental health provider. I am quite proud of helping others. As I moved deeper into emergency management, it became apparent that the crises I work with affect people, not only businesses. If a shelter needs to be evacuated, how will it be done, and where will the people go? If some of your work is abused and placed negatively in the public spotlight, how will you proceed and protect your reputation? My services apply to non-profit and benevolent organizations as well.
