Volunteer Information

Volunteer with Jefferson County Department of Emergency Management:

The Department of Emergency Management (DEM) is interested in volunteers with medical backgrounds (doctor, nurse, EMT, etc.), backgrounds in security (military, law enforcement), other emergency response (firefighters, Incident Command System) or other specialized skills. If you do not have any specialized experience, please do not feel discouraged! We can assist in finding the best program to fit your interests and experience. 

Please fill out the online application in order to begin the sign up process. 

Once you have completed the application, the volunteer coordinator will reach out with next steps. These steps will include filling out a Background Check Authorization Form and signing it in front of a DEM staff member. All volunteer documents can be found at the bottom of this page and in the document library on our website.
