I'm sharing the email string below (shown in reverse order), because I think it shows a great opportunity for IT instructors, students, and practitioners, as a way of getting back through participation in the ITDRC (www.itdrc.org). I'd encourage you to consider joining and sharing this information with your colleagues and students.

Wanted to share this with you. As you know, when I do the interview with students wanting to participate in the CCAP apprenticeship program, I strongly suggest they get involved with a list of organizations (Infragard, ITDRC, etc.) as a way to network with cybersecurity professionals and build their resume. I'm asking Certification Magazine to accept an article that will relate to ITDRC and want to include our suggestion that apprentices join this volunteer organization.

Given what we've seen on last week's news, I've made the decision to meet the requirements associated with deployment (see attached completion certificates), and with the permission of RSCCD (hence the inclusion of Sarah), seek deployment relative to this recent disaster. I have enough unused vacation leave to do this.

Probably based upon watching the news relating to the Bahamas, this weekend I went through and completed the requirements associated with deployment (see attachments and the email below). I view this as a great opportunity for volunteer service, and those having the IT-related skills need to consider. Hence the reason I'm suggesting writing an article.

Subject: ITDRC - Deployment Availability Request - Hurricane Dorian (Bahamas)
To: [email protected] <[email protected]>



Team-

We are exploring a deployment to the Bahamas to provide humanitarian assistance to communities impacted by Hurricane Dorian, and calling for a second set of availability submissions.

If you are interested, available, and meet all of the requirements outlined below, please submit your availability for the next 4 weeks through the Deployment Availability form. We will tentatively staff this mission on 10 day rotations for a minimum of 8 weeks, so it is important that you keep your availability updated. If your availability changes after submission, please submit the form again, as your later submission will supersede the previous one.

The following criteria must be met to be eligible for international field deployment:

Registering availability does not guarantee deployment. Stand by for further information from the mobilization team if you are selected for deployment. Deployment selection is determined based on many different factors, including proximity and travel routes to affected area, dates and length of availability, and skillsets required.

NOTE: If you have already registered for our domestic response to Hurricane Dorian, you will need to submit availability for the Bahamas response. Remote support team members will be selected from the domestic availability pool.

Reminder: If you are a part of an employer sponsored team, please check with your program managers before submitting availability.
