Wollondilly residents have faced many disasters and emergencies in recent years, including droughts, fires, floods, and a pandemic. Volunteers play a crucial role in every stage of these events, especially in bridging the gap between disaster and recovery.
Recovering from a disaster takes time. Our community may need long-term help from volunteers for clean-up efforts, delivering essential goods, and providing care and support to those impacted.
To help coordinate these efforts, Wollondilly Shire Council, with support from the NSW Government, has created a Disaster Recovery Volunteer Database. This database will allow Council and other support agencies to organise and deploy spontaneous volunteers effectively to support recovery efforts.
Submit your details to our disaster recovery volunteer database. You can opt in and out at any time.
When needed following a disaster, we will pass your details on to verified recovery organisations in need of volunteers.
When needed the recovery organisation will contact you to offer volunteer opportunities.
Volunteers will be called upon based on the needs of the requesting support agencies and Council, considering factors like location, skillset and the number of volunteers needed.
Registering your interest as a volunteer does not guarantee deployment. By registering, you agree to share your information with Council and its partner agencies that may need your support during times of disaster.
You can withdraw your information and consent at any time from this database.
