Status of WASART

As a resource for state emergency management, we are available to them as a resource. Since we don’t self-deploy, we need an official request from emergency management, the sheriff, or similar to deploy.

We are currently on standby. 

Looking to volunteer or offer resources?

Submit your information privately here: wasart.org/evolunteer.

If you aren’t a credentialed WASART member, and you would like to volunteer, we’re taking names and contact info. Please understand we may not be activated and if we are, we may have sufficient numbers to staff the shelter. We very much appreciate offers regardless. Thank you for your humanity at this time.
