In the event of a public health emergency medication must be provided to a large number of people in a short period of time. In some cases the key to survival for most people is to receive antibiotics as soon as possible and before the individual begins to show symptoms.
This endeavor is to be accomplished through the establishment of a POD. The POD is a community-based site that will be set up to medicate up to 20,000 people within a 48 hour period. To accomplish this endeavor many volunteers will be needed. Our plan is to staff 50 positions in 12 hour shifts with each position having 3 individuals trained.
Many of the positions require certification and experience in the medical field. Other positions can be filled by people with a variety of life or job skills. We are interested in getting volunteers who have a willingness to help others in time of need. Let us know what you can contribute and we will find a spot for you and provide appropriate training, most of which can be done on site when a POD is opened.
All volunteers will be required to undergo a criminal background check as required by law.
