WORK TO BE DONE:
Work varies per site. The type of work that will likely be done will include mudouts, clearing debris, food service, food prep, chainsaw work, tarping roofs, etc
WHAT TO WEAR:
Volunteers will be given OB T-shirts to wear out in the community. We ask that they were these shirts instead of their own group shirt so they are identified as volunteers with OB. Volunteers should wear long pants/jeans, work boots (rubber boots during flood response). They may want to bring a hat. Depending on conditions, they may want to bring a light jacket/coat.
