Those who want to volunteer with disaster relief efforts will be required to go through a background check. The Salvation Army is requiring screenings of ‘good character for all members of its disaster response team. The Joplin Disaster Team has grown in membership from 15 to 42 members since the events of September 11th. New team members will receive extensive training in all areas of disaster including mass feeding, grief counseling, shelter management, victim identification/ registration and reconstruction.
