Does NACEC staff get paid?
Prior to 2010, no staff was ever paid. Due to the length of time spent in preparation, management and at disasters, coupled with the difficulty in finding skilled volunteers that had the time to spend weeks or months deployed to a disaster area as part of a response team, it was decided in January of 2010 to change to a core of paid staff. With this core staff we would be able to respond much more quickly to a disaster and augment them with available volunteers as needed.
