DISASTER HEALTHCARE VOLUNTEERS
The Disaster Healthcare Volunteers (DHV) is a secured and confidential online registry of licensed healthcare professionals interested in volunteering during disasters. The system is designed to validate the credentials of healthcare professionals before an emergency to expedite the deployment of volunteers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Non-medical support personnel (logistics, communications, amateur radio operators, etc) are also encouraged to volunteer. Volunteers in San Joaquin County will be notified and activated by the EMS Agency. For more information contact Phil Cook, Disaster Medical Health Specialist at 468-6818 or by email pcook@sjgov.org
To register go to https://www.healthcarevolunteers.ca.gov/
DISASTER SERVICES WORKERS
All members of the Disaster Healthcare Volunteers (DHV) are eligible to receive state-funded workers’ compensation benefits for their services protecting the health and safety, and preserving the lives and property of the people of the state. This program was established to protect such volunteers from financial loss as a result of injuries sustained while engaged in disaster service activities and to provide immunity from liability while providing disaster services.
To register complete the Disaster Service Workers Registration Form and mail the original to the San Joaquin County EMS Agency – P.O. Box 220, French Camp, CA 95231.

San Joaquin County Medical Network (Med Net) Radio System California Health Alert Network (CAHAN):
In March 2010 the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) will upgrade the CAHAN system from version 4.7 to 5.1. CAHAN 5.1 provides many new features that make the system faster, more powerful, and easier to use. One of the new features is a stronger password policy. Old CAHAN passwords will not work under the new policy, so everyone on the CAHAN system must change his or her password before the upgrade takes place.
