Welcome to the world of off-road recoveries!
Offroad Portal’s volunteers are the backbone of our community, working tirelessly assisting in recovery missions. Now you are one of us. Thank you for joining and welcome aboard.
Your first mission is to make sure your profile is complete… include your vehicle and recovery gear, your state, county and specially your zip code.
Our community is growing around the country. In some areas the general public already knows very well of our services, in others not so much. Depending of where you are, you might receive requests near you in a few days, or weeks.
Notes about recoveries
If a recovery is needed in your area, we will start to invite volunteers from 20, 30 miles around the incident. Sometimes we don’t have anybody near, specially in deserted areas or far away from cities. In those cases we will extend the range and try to reach volunteers that might be 75, 100 or 150 miles away. When this happens, is not that we are expecting everybody to drive that much, although some of you might be ok with that, but in some cases we are trying to activate a “network” of volunteers, and ask if they know somebody who might be closer. Everything helps, even just sharing the request.
When deciding to help with a recovery, unless you have plenty of experience, try to work in tandem with another volunteer. In our Lobby, you can leave a note about your intentions to help, you can ask for a partner, and you can decide to mark yourself as viewing, standing by or engaging.
Please always keep us informed. If you are participating in the recovery, try to take some photos. Video helps too. After the recovery is completed, you can submit an email to info@offroadportal.org with the information. If we don’t receive anything, we will send you a reminder to your email.
Finally, we need to spread the word. Your second mission is to help us grow in your area. Please make sure to share in your social media platform a link to our website or facebook page and also a link to submit recoveries: offroadportal.org/recovery. Please share with friends, or if you already have a local recovery group, share with your members this link: offroadportal.org/signup so they can also become volunteers.
THANK YOU!
