What Makes A Good Volunteer?

Emergency telecommunication volunteers come from a wide variety of backgrounds and with
a range of skills and experience. The common attributes that all effective volunteers share are
a desire to help others without personal gain of any kind, the ability to work as a member of a
team, and to take direction from others. Emergency telecommunication volunteers need to be
able to think and act quickly, under the stress and pressure of an emergency.

You cannot help others when you are worried about those you love. Your own family should
always be your first priority. Adequate personal and family preparation will enable you to get
your own situation under control more quickly so that you are in a position to be of service to
others.
