Emergency Preparedness

Stratford-Trumbull-Monroe Medical Reserve Corps

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a group of medical and non-medical volunteers organized to respond to public health emergencies in the three-town region. The MRC is a specialized component of Citizen Corps, a national network of volunteers dedicated to ensuring homeland security. 

The MRC is focused on preparing for and responding to local public health emergencies such as disease outbreaks and natural or man-made disasters.  Volunteers assist in public vaccination clinics and shelters opened in response to tropical and winter storms. 

Although “medical” is in our name, membership is NOT limited to medical personnel. Whatever skills you bring, chances are we could use them in our MRC!
