Sonia:Attention volunteers! My name is Sonia and I’d like to tell you about the work we do here. We help emergency services as they rescue people affected by the hurricane.
Melissa:What are emergency services?
Sonia:The police, the paramedics, the firefighters, the army… all of the public services that can help in a crisis. They are working together because they want to help the people in the community.
Person 1:And how can we help?
Sonia:As you know, many people are donating food, clothes, and other supplies. We have to pack boxes with the correct products for shelters.
Melissa:Excuse me, Sonia. I have a disability. I don’t think I can pack things. Can I still help?
Sonia:Sure! Can you type? We need people to register the supplies we get, and then write down where they go. We need to keep control of things. There are many other things to do, so every volunteer is more than welcome!
Person 2:Are there other ways to help?
Sonia:Yes, that’s why I need you to fill in a volunteer registration form. If you can drive, you can help take supplies to the shelters. If you have a boat, we need you to help rescue workers. Some of you can help in the shelters.
