AIA Call for Disaster Assistance Volunteers

 



The AIA Disaster Assistance program is seeking volunteers to participate in recovery and rebuilding efforts on an as-needed basis. The information you provide below will be included in a database for the AIA Disaster Assistance program to use in the event of a calamity requiring architects for damage assessment, rebuilding and community design and planning. Before completing this form, carefully consider your ability to travel and take time off from work, and the potential loss of income during your absence.

While this call for volunteers has been initiated as a part of the AIA’s response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the Asian Tsunami, please understand that you may not be contacted to participate in this specific effort. The ultimate goal of the database is to be prepared to respond to future disasters by employing the expertise of qualified members. The information you provide will be used only as indicated in this form.

To submit your registration, fill out all relevent parts of the form and click the Submit button at the bottom of the form.
