WEAVR Volunteers

Information

It only takes one disaster to affect our community. Whether it’s a pandemic flu or the rising threat of Ebola, we must be ready to tackle any public health challenge. A strong response is crucial during emergencies, and volunteers are essential to the recovery process.

What is WEAVR?
  • The Wisconsin Emergency Assistance Volunteer Registry (WEAVR) is a secure, web-based system for health care and behavioral health professionals to self-register for critical response roles during public health emergencies. Volunteers can update their information and are contacted by public health officials to fill specific roles, with training provided at the reporting site.
  • WEAVR respects the time of its volunteers, recognizing that offering your time means less time for personal activities. The program offers flexibility, allowing you to choose how much time you want to contribute. You will always have the option to decline if you’re called upon. Since the WEAVR system is mainly used for large-scale emergencies, volunteers are not expected to be called on frequently.
