TULSA HUMAN RESPONSE COALITION
 
Funded through a grant from The Corporation for National and Community Service Contacts:  Dave Baer and Carrie Wiggs, Tulsa Volunteer Center 918-585-5551, Extension 232 or 261 citizencorps@cityoftulsa.org       www.citizencorpstulsa.org

The Tulsa Human Response Coalition brings together professionals and volunteers in the community with skills in the fields of homeland security, mental health, human services, disaster response, emergency preparedness, crisis management, public health and public safety. Coalition participants make their skills available to first responders to assist when needed at the site of an emergency or at service centers in the days following an event.

Volunteers may register to offer the following skills in times of crisis:
1.	Disaster recovery/casework
2.	Disaster education
3.	Construction: Structural or non-structural mitigation
4.	Mental health professional
5.	Human service professional
6.	Assisting mental health or human service professionals
7.	Computer skills
8.	Other skills not listed above

During a disaster, virtually any skill may be useful. Needs could range from heavy equipment operator to child day care provider, from language translation to taxi service, from distributing bottles of water to offering grief recovery counseling. Each incident has its own character, and the needs to be met will depend on the type of emergency, the people impacted, and the extent of damage done. Local emergency management personnel determine the needs particular to a disaster and work with first responders, the American Red Cross and the Tulsa Human Response Coalition to mobilize volunteers to address these needs.
