Help make the network work
Marin Power depends on neighbors willing to contribute their time, skills, local knowledge, or simply a willingness to help. Volunteers may support emergency deployments, prepare the network between storms, recruit EV owners, strengthen community partnerships, or help maintain the equipment and program.
A volunteer who helps recruit five EV owners contributes just as meaningfully as someone who helps deploy a pump.
Ways to help
- Deployment and equipment: Assist with pump and equipment handling, station support, setup, maintenance, and deployment logistics.
- Community outreach: Connect with neighborhoods, recruit EV owners and volunteers, share information, and help build trusted local relationships.
- Technical and emergency expertise: Contribute knowledge of electrical systems, plumbing, pumping, emergency management, disaster response, transportation, or logistics.
- Coordination and communications: Help organize volunteers, support community partnerships, manage administrative tasks, or assist with communications and media.
You do not need to be an emergency professional to participate. Volunteer roles, training, and safety requirements will be defined before anyone is asked to perform a task.
A dependable network
The goal is not to create a large volunteer organization. It is to build a dependable network of people with different skills who are willing to help when needed.
Some volunteers may participate during an emergency. Others may help prepare, maintain equipment, recruit EV owners, build partnerships, or strengthen the program between storms.

Marin Power is a supplemental community resilience program, not a replacement for emergency services. Volunteers will not be asked to take unreasonable personal risks. When conditions are dangerous, official emergency instructions and professional emergency response always take priority.
