POD/Public Health Drill - Save the Date

posted Jul 31, 2009 5:24 PM by John Forest
The POD/Public Health Drill has been rescheduled for October 17th. CERT and MRC volunteers will be needed. Please save the date and more details will be provided as the date gets closer.


The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills. CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) organizes and utilizes public health and medical volunteers. These volunteers prepare for and respond to emergencies and act as a support to existing public health and emergency resources. Retired professionals, who have maintained their credentials, and would be available during disaster, are especially needed.
