Communication

All volunteers are required to have a WAserv account and expected to regularly check for announcements. This is especially important for emergency announcements and drills that all volunteers are required to respond to. To manage your account, follow this link: WAserv

Please know that all mass communication will come through WAserv, a non-reply email. Any questions regarding those announcements or other questions in general, please email the PHRC team directly via email, PHRC@kingcounty.gov

FAQs for current volunteers

No, we are only able to count volunteer hours for PHRC-sponsored events, as other events are covered by mission numbers granted by the King County Office of Emergency Management. 

We might share other events happening in the county but will always be sure to share what is a sponsored PHRC event and what is not.

No, we are unable to provide references for volunteers. We can only provide a verification of your active membership and the hours you have volunteered.

For all other questions, please contact your PHRC coordinators at PHRC@kingcounty.gov
