Disaster Relief Training

Looking to make a difference and lend a helping hand in times of crisis? Look no further than becoming a Kentucky Disaster Relief Volunteer!

Join us for the Introduction to Disaster Relief and Ministry Area Training, where you’ll gain a general overview of the work and ministry of Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. This training is required for all volunteers every 3 years, including those recredentialing, to keep everyone up to date with any changes and a background check.

Choose from a variety of Ministry Area Trainings, including our most popular and often most needed call out, Mass Feeding. Learn about feeding operations to ensure the safe storage, handling, preparation, and distribution of food to disaster survivors and volunteers. Other Ministry Area Trainings include Chainsaw Safety & Chainsaw Certification Level 1 (a future course will be offered for Chainsaw Certification Level 2), Roof Tarping, Flood Recovery, Shower / Laundry, Damage Assessment, Chaplaincy, Mobile Communications, Temporary Emergency Childcare, Evangelism in Crisis, Water Purification, Basic CPR & AED, and First Aid.

Please note that a training fee of $30 is required and you must be 18 years of age to be a credentialed Kentucky Disaster Relief Volunteer. All trainees (including those who are recredentialling), must complete a criminal background check and attend Introduction to Disaster Relief.

Join us for an engaging and informative day of training to become a part of meeting disaster relief needs across the nation. Together, we can make a difference and provide crucial support to those in need.
