Disaster Response Overview

Volunteer to Deploy

Faculty, staff, and students with the UF College of Veterinary Medicine may volunteer to deploy with the VETS team with permission from their department/supervisors. Joining the volunteer list does not guarantee or obligate deployment response, but does provide the team with a targeted list to contact when a mission request is issued. Relevant information about each deployment will be shared as the team receives a mission request, including duration of the operation, location, and volunteer duties.

Recommended Packing List: Disaster Go Bag.

The below form should be updated annually to reflect availability and interest of any potential volunteers. Please contact Brandi Phillips at brandikphillips@ufl.edu if you have any questions.
