Massachusetts System for Advance Registration (MSAR)
"What do you want your role to be?"
Recent experience with large scale disasters has consistently shown that an effective response requires that volunteers be pre-credentialed and deployed through a coordinated effort. Well meaning but unaffiliated volunteers who spontaneously present to disaster sites are often unable to be assigned. With limited time and resources to process volunteers, often only those with known credentials are permitted access to the disaster response. By registering with MSAR, you can be part of an alert system and respond, when activated, to a significant disaster or public health emergency.

Volunteer Alerts
There are no volunteer alerts at this time. MDPH does plan to conduct MSAR drills during 2008. These drills are designed to test the activation and response systems of the program. Volunteers should be aware that they may be contacted during an MSAR drill.
