The steps required to demobilize the VRC usually include:

• Arranging for documentation storage to ensure analysis and retention.
• Returning of borrowed property.
• Cleaning and restoring the VRC to its original condition.
• Ensuring that all VRC personnel (paid and unpaid) have access to disaster stress management assistance, if needed.
• Conducting a “hot wash” to discuss the forms, procedures, partners, and operating hours to determine whether changes need to be made to improve future operations.
