Volunteer Reception Center Training
Volunteer Alexandria is looking for volunteers who would like to help run Volunteer Reception Centers (VRCs), should a disaster affect the Alexandria area. A VRC provides a central location where spontaneous, unaffiliated volunteers can go to be placed in volunteer positions to assist with disaster recovery.

- What a VRC does and the role it serves under the City of Alexandria's Emergency Management Plan;
- How and when a VRC is activated; and
- How it is staffed and operated.

The overall goal of this exercise is to increase the number of disaster volunteers trained in VRC operations and the exercise objectives are:
