4 Event Volunteer Information & Waiver Dear Volunteer: Welcome and thank you for volunteering with the 3 rd Annual Katy Area Safety Fest ( KASF ) and helping make this event another successful year. It is vital that we continue to keep our community informed about safety awareness. A well-informed community is better able to prepare for any potential disaster affecting the area. Volunteers must sign in at the Volunteer check-in booth. Volunteer assignments will be given at the time of checkin, and volunteer t-shirts will be handed out. (Please keep in mind the day of event volunteers may be reassigned if needed to fill spots. Please be patient as this is a possibility). The purpose of this information is to provide KASF volunteers with an understanding of their responsibilities regarding volunteer assignments, along with site safety and management throughout the KASF s duration. The rules outlined below must be followed. All KASF Volunteers: All volunteers must agree to comply with the following Code of Conduct: (Please read carefully) No smoking within the KASF area. (Smoking is not permitted within twelve (12 ) feet of the event).

KASF will provide snacks, beverages, and lunch in the hospitality area. All volunteers must be courteous to all guests, vendors, and fellow volunteers. If an issue arises from unruly, abusive, or dangerous conduct, contact security or a KASF staff member. (KASF security will be on-site to ensure safe and orderly conduct during KASF). In case of non-compliance with this Code of Conduct, safety rules, and guidelines, KASF officials reserve the right to demand any volunteers to exit and leave the KASF event. Volunteers should not speak with media unless authorized. Volunteers are to direct media to KASF staff or the public relations team. Follow agency rules. Act professionally. Complete tasks. Participate in training. Volunteer Attire: All volunteers must wear a KSAF t-shirt to be easily identified. All volunteers are allowed to wear jeans, khakis, or appropriate shorts. Please wear comfortable shoes no open-toed shoes. Hats and sunglasses are permitted (no vulgar offensive language, art work, or photos displayed on hats or other wearable items will be tolerated). We reserve the right to request a volunteer to remove any inappropriate attire. If the volunteer refuses, he/she will be asked to leave the KASF event. Volunteers are required to sign the Volunteer Release and Waiver of Liability form on the reverse side to participate in the Katy Area Safety Fest.
