The presence of volunteers, both affiliated and unaffiliated, and the influx of donations during and after an emergency can be addressed through a comprehensive emergency operations plan (EOP). Education agencies and their planning teams must consider developing a system that addresses the different types of donations and volunteers, how they will be distributed and managed, who will be involved in that process internally and externally, and how to communicate with organizations and individuals playing key roles. Furthermore, an EOP should consider how to ensure the safety of students, staff members, and visitors while volunteers are on campus, as well as the tools needed to maintain and manage volunteers, donations, and the various operational functions that come with their influx.
