Communication roles and processes with response partners, media, general public, and others along with training regarding the impact an event has on the mental health of members. This was a very engaging training as most members had experienced Hurricane Ivan and the difficulty experienced with communications, transportation and obtaining supplies. Volunteers also related their experience the disaster had on their mental health as well as that of the community.
