SC-SERV and Radio Response Teams
What is SC-SERV?
- SC-SERV stands for Statewide Emergency Registry of Volunteers, a secure registration system and database for volunteers willing to respond to public health emergencies in South Carolina or other areas across the country.
- The SC-SERV database has been specially modified to accommodate SCHEART RRT members. When ham radio operators register, their credentials and certification are verified in advance, allowing for efficient deployment and utilization of volunteer operators.
Do Radio Response Team (RRT) members need to register with SC-SERV?
- Registration with SC-SERV is optional but highly encouraged.
- Registration with SC-SERV does not obligate volunteers to serve during an emergency or disaster.
- If an event requiring volunteer assistance occurs, appropriate public health officials will use SC-SERV to generate a list of potential volunteers. Those listed will be contacted and given information regarding the event, and be given the opportunity to accept or decline service as a volunteer.
- Volunteers are expected to maintain current contact information on SC-SERV.
