Skilled volunteers are vital during a large scale emergency.

During times of crisis, it is natural to want to serve others through volunteerism. Whether it is providing help during a flood or manning a phone bank to help victims find sorely needed resources, there is a role we can all play.

MRC volunteers are trained to provide assistance during a bioterrorism or natural public health disaster within their community. These critical roles will help save and protect lives. Everyone is needed from clinical to non-medical experts. Training in incident command, biological agents and community help center operations is part of the comprehensive training that you will receive as a MRC volunteer.

In addition, community readiness and volunteer skills are tested during mock clinics. If you want to sharpen your skills in an interactive and invaluable way, please sign up to become an MRC volunteer. Click here to see our magazine advertisement.
