Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Waldo County EMA is seeking interested and qualified volunteers to serve their communities through the County Emergency Management program.

These positions provide no compensation. It may be possible during Presidential Declared Disasters to reimburse for mileage. When called out for actual emergencies or disasters or while participating in training and exercise events, the volunteers will be covered for Liability and Workers' Compensation by the State of Maine.

Training will be provided by the County EMA program. Some training will need to be accomplished during normal business hours and some courses may be offered outside of the county. Most of the training courses are offered online and may be accomplished at your convenience. Licenses and certifications may need to be completed by applicants prior to assignment to some positions.
