This past week my team and I were working at the National VOAD (volunteer organizations active in disaster) conference. We helped people to register, answered questions, managed volunteers at the service project (a habitat build) and documented the conference with photo and video. I even got to proctor a session by announcing speakers talking about different disaster services. The hot topic of discussion was of course Joplin. Being around so many people ready to help in disaster really made me excited for the possibility that my team might get to respond to a disaster. As of right now we haven't been selected to respond. Other NCCC teams have already been deployed to Joplin, including Noel's team. So my team's chances of going to Joplin are slim, but as the round progresses other areas may be requesting assistance as flood waters recede.
I'm excited to get back to our project. Last time we were on our Habitat site we got to do some decon, which was awesome, but theres still alot to do! This long weekend is killing me. I'm ready to get back to work!
