The MI Volunteer Registry is a database that functions as a central location for volunteer information. Individuals interested in volunteering will indicate their interests and contact information in this secure, electronic environment. Information can then be queried and appropriate volunteers contacted by authorized personnel via e-mail or text pager.
The Registry intends to help meet the needs of hospitals and emergency responders when local resources have been exhausted. Experience has shown that in an emergency, overwhelming numbers of healthcare personnel are eager and willing to volunteer their services.
Volunteers may chose to register for one or more of eight volunteer groups including Licensed Health Professions, Unlicensed Health Professions, General Support Volunteers, Community Emergency Response Team, Medical Reserve Corps, Fire Corps, Neighborhood Watch, and Volunteers in Police Service.
