Coordinating: Planning and Resource Sharing

Once you and your response partners know where you are and where you want to be, you can plan how to get there.

In many respects, planning is one of the MRC unit coordinator’s primary tasks. It will be important to brainstorm and prepare for all operational or functional areas of the MRC, from procedures for volunteer utilization to volunteer training, to managing internal information and databases. This publication primarily addresses the planning for volunteer utilization with your MRC unit’s response partners.

When forming your MRC unit, you will have begun an internal planning process that will consider others in your community. One next step is to work more closely with response partners to develop the utilization aspects of your MRC’s plan. Cooperation in this regard is essential.
