Help out when your community needs it most.
In a natural disaster, major disease outbreak, act of bioterrorism, or other emergency, volunteers can make a crucial difference in a community’s ability to help people.
Clark County Public Health needs medical and non-medical volunteers to work alongside public health staff during emergencies in Clark and Skamania counties. You will receive valuable training, participate in exercises, and be at the heart of the response.
