Benefits of TIP to the City of Carlsbad
(1) Community Health & Public Safety-TIP volunteers are there within the first hour
following a tragedy. TIP volunteers remain with traumatized citizens and keep them off of
the roads and freeways and safe.
(2) Fills the Gap in Emergency Response- TIP volunteers address the needs of the
emotionally injured when they are left alone without anyone to support them on the scene
of a tragedy.
(3) Support to Responders-TIP volunteers are able to help victims who are emotional and
traumatized which allows the responders to focus on their job and return to service
quicker.
(4) Public Relations-TIP volunteers are your public relations in the community as they
meet the needs of residents who are grateful to the City government for providing such a
tremendous service to them.
(5) Major Disasters-TIP volunteers are trained and prepared in the event of a large critical
incident. The City will have immediate access to volunteers who are experienced in
working within emergency response system in the event of a disaster or terrorist attack.
(6) Community Involvement-TIP involves community members in public safety.
(7) Cost Effective-TIP provides 24 hour crisis intervention staffed by volunteers at a
nominal annual fee.
