The information is used by the Peace Corps Office of VRS in its assessment of an individual's qualifications to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer. It is designed to offer the Evacuee RPCV an efficient means of re-applying to the Peace Corps. Selection for Peace Corps service is based on that assessment.
