We all have a role to play in hometown security. Citizen Corps is a movement created to help coordinate volunteer activities that will make our communities safer, stronger and better prepared to respond to any emergency situation.  It provides opportunities for people to participate in a range of measures to make their families, their homes and their communities safer from the threats of crime, terrorism and disasters of all kinds.

Benefits for local Citizen Corps volunteers:

• Become part of an organized system of disaster response.
• Become credentialed to provide assistance if activated after a large-scale disaster.
• Work with local Emergency Management and Homeland Security personnel
• Practice life-saving information through volunteering.
• Receive free tools to keep your community prepared.
