 As part of a nationwide initiative, the Tristate Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is recruiting medical professionals including physicians, nurses, paramedics and mental health professionals, as well as citizens with non-medical backgrounds, to volunteer in this community during emergency situations that require a widespread medical or public health response.
Events such as September 11, 2001, and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have highlighted the importance of communities uniting to improve the level of disaster preparedness. Volunteers in the MRC have the opportunity to utilize their skills to assist other community members during events such as large scale disasters or infectious disease outbreaks.
The Tristate MRC provides assistance and depth to local emergency response teams, public health, and health care infrastructure. This assistance may prove to be vital to our community’s operational stability during the first hours and days following an event. Tristate MRC members may also have the opportunity to assist outside of the Tristate, as many chose to do following hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
