Administrators: Training Sessions are archived below for your
convenience. There are two recorded sessions - one for Basic
training and one for Advanced Administrator
training.
The Wisconsin Emergency Assistance Volunteer Registry,
or WEAVR, is a secure, password-protected, Web-based volunteer registration
system for health care and behavioral health professionals. Volunteers interested in filling critical
response and recovery roles following a major public health emergency self-register and are the only ones that can update
their information.
Wisconsin
Statute Chapter 257 (exit DHS) provides
liability and worker's compensation for specified licensed health
professionals deployed as volunteers during a declared emergency.
To be considered for this coverage, you must join WEAVR. Based on the information collected from each volunteer, public health
officials identify those individuals willing
to fill the specific
volunteer roles needed in
an emergency. Public health officials will use the WEAVR registry to generate
a list of volunteers to be contacted. Those contacted will be given information on where to report and the
role that is needed, as well as the option to accept or decline the
opportunity. Training will be provided at the reporting site.
It is important to remember:
- WEAVR membership and volunteer activities are in addition to any
professional or volunteer commitments you may have already established.
- You are the only person able to change the contact information
provided. Please make any changes to the data fields in the WEAVR
system as soon as they occur.
