Citizen Corps is the component of the USA Freedom Corps that
creates opportunities for individuals to volunteer to help their
communities prepare for and respond to emergencies by bringing
together local leaders, citizen volunteers and the network of first
responder organizations, such as fire departments, police departments
and emergency medical personnel. The goal is to have all citizens
participate in making their communities safer, stronger, and better
prepared for preventing and handling threats of terrorism, crime, and
disasters of all kinds.
We all have a role in hometown security:
Personal responsibility: preparedness plans and disaster supplies
kits – home health and safety practices – disaster mitigation measures –
crime prevention and reporting
Training: emergency preparedness – response capabilities – first aid –
fire suppression – search and rescue procedures – public health and
safety
Volunteer service: law enforcement – fire – emergency medical
services – community public health – emergency management – disaster
relief and community safety organizations.
Citizen Corps asks you to embrace the personal responsibility to be
prepared; to get training in first aid and emergency skills; and to
volunteer to support local emergency responders, disaster relief, and
community safety.
What YOU Can Do
• Volunteer
• Help with public education, risk assessment, training and volunteer
participation
• Mentor others: individuals, organizations and communities
