Volunteer Services
Volunteer Services :
There are statutory exceptions to the general statutory prohibition against accepting voluntary services under 31 U.S.C. 1342 that can be used to accept the assistance of volunteer workers. Such services may be accepted in emergencies involving the safety of human life or the protection of property. Additionally, provisions of the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5152(a), 5170a(2), authorize the President to use the personnel of private disaster relief organizations and to coordinate their activities.
