Introduction (Orientation) to Disaster Relief
is for those persons who want to learn about Disaster Relief and see if it is a ministry they would like to be part of.  (Registration is required but there are no training fees.  It's FREE!) Recertification CANNOT be accomplished at this event.
Recertification is required every 3 years in your Primary Unit (ministry area) to remain an active volunteer.  This can be accomplished by attending any of the Phase 1 trainings offered in January, February, and March of each year or by attending a Recertification Training hosted and scheduled by the leadership of the Primary Unit you are assigned to.  Recertification in your Primary Unit will recertify you in all areas you are trained in. (Recertification fee if received by registration deadline:  $20.) 
Phase 2 is designed for volunteers who sense the Lord leading them to become involved in this ministry at a leadership level and prepares the Disaster Relief volunteer to serve as a Team Leader or fulfill some special role.  Recertification CANNOT be accomplished at this event. (Training Fees = $35.  Additional charges may apply.  See registration form for details, costs, and required prerequisite for each Ministry Area.)
