The pre-deployment phase of the Disaster Task Force operations involves monitoring severe weather, assessing damage and determining any needs compelling a Disaster Task Force deployment to impacted areas. Once these tasks are completed, a determination is made whether a deployment is required. If so, confirmation is made to ensure appropriate needed supplies and equipment are available to be deployed.
Pre-deployment volunteer opportunities:
Severe Weather Monitoring
Storm Damage Assessment
Social Media & Communications
Please visit the VOLUNTEER page for more information on these and other volunteer opportunities.
Monitoring severe weather as it occurs not only identifies locations of severe weather, it also helps the storm damage assessment team know where to begin looking.
Assessing the impacts of severe weather in real time, as it happens, both determines needs and helps to determine the need of a deployment of the Disaster Task Force.
Throughout the severe weather monitoring and storm damage assessment, the social media and communications volunteers regularly update the outcomes and findings across DeWeather Cares social media platforms,
