Cedar County Public Health

Join the MRC

Why join today?

In a disaster, everyone wants to help.  Lessons learned from 9/11 and severe weather show that many volunteers who show up to help cannot be used.  The pre-registering and pre-credentialing of volunteers allows the Cedar County MRC to match the skills of the volunteers to the needs of the county. This increases the efficiency of volunteer assignments and reduces the work of processing volunteers during an emergency. 

As a volunteer, you will gain personal satisfaction, a chance to make a difference in your community, an opportunity to network in your community, and knowledge that you are part of a community-wide emergency response effort.
