Save The River has teamed up with the U.S. Coast Guard to train volunteers to help in the event of a major spill or shipping accident on the River.
Know the River? Sign-up to Volunteer!
If a major shipping accident and spill occurs on the River, volunteers who know the River will be needed to survey the impacted area so that first responders have as much information as possible to prepare effective response and clean-up plans.
Volunteers will be trained to assess shoreline damage and will receive information on safety in a spill situation. Additionally, Save The River is looking for volunteers who would be able to manage the Save The River office and a ‘phone tree’ in the event of an accident to help get information to local community members and coordinate volunteer response.
How do I sign up?
Interested volunteers should call Save The River’s Program Manager or e-mail at info@savetheriver.org
