Would you know how to help yourself and others if a natural disaster occurred today?  What about a man-made disaster?  We can help.  Homeland Preparedness Project in cooperation with the Brazoria County Citizens Corps Council offers numerous opportunities throughout Brazoria County to train you to respond in the case of a disaster.

Volunteer Opportunities

As an MRC volunteer, when you work as a volunteer during an emergency, you and your immediate family will receive your preventive medication before distribution to the public begins.

Training is free to anyone over 18 years of age and to children 14 and over accompanied by a responsible adult.  Volunteers must have a clear criminal record.

Community Emergency Response Teams

CERT training prepares the volunteer to respond to emergencies and disasters that happen in their community. There are 8 modules that cover valuable skills that will help to save lives and protect your family in a disaster. The training is approximately 21 hours and a 4 hour exercise that challenges the volunteers to put all of the knowledge they have gained to work in a simulated disaster. The training is progressive so you must complete all eight modules to graduate. On completion of the training, each volunteer receives a CERT Pack containing basic equipment to perform the skills taught in the classes.

Volunteers must be 18 years old.
