Citizen Corps was created to help coordinate volunteer activities that will make our communities safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to emergency situations. It provides opportunities for people to participate in a range of measures to make their families, their homes, and their communities safer from the threats of crime, terrorism, and disasters. Educating citizens and networking local communities are key elements to minimizing the threat to individual health, property and overall safety during an emergency situation. For additional information contact Michele Kehl.
The county invites residents to participate in "Neighbors Helping Neighbors, an all hazards program designed to teach people the skills required to get through the first, critical 72 hours following an emergency.
If you would like to learn more about participating in "Neighbors Helping Neighbors," visit our online volunteer resource. You m more information, please call 410-887-2594.
