Updating Unit Information on the MRC Web site

As a registered MRC Coordinator or Director, you have permission to change the contact information for your unit. To make adjustments to your unit's contact information, log on to the MRC Web site using the LOGIN link above and the username and password you created at registration. Once logged in, you will see "Edit MRC Unit" in the User Panel of the Web site. Click on this link. The next page will include the fields for your MRC unit, which you should maintain and keep accurate.

Please review your profile often for accuracy and completeness, including the following fields:

Basic Unit Information including Jurisdiction Information
Regular and Emergency Contact Information
Volunteer Counts
Unit Activities
Additional Unit Information

We have noticed that updates are particularly needed in the following areas:

Unit Descriptions. Many MRC units continue to use the unit description that they first entered upon application for registration. These descriptions are part of your profile that is visible to the public and should be interesting, accurate, and current. See http://www.medicalreservecorps.gov/File/Unit%20Descriptions.doc for examples of how you might want your description to look.
Unit Activities. Many stakeholders would like to know more details about the activities that MRC units are involved in. The description should be concise and, again, interesting. Some examples can be found at http://www.medicalreservecorps.gov/ActivityReporting.
Additional Unit Information. This section includes a number of objective questions about the organization, composition, integration, and planning for your unit. This information is not part of the unit profile that is visible to the public, but it is extremely necessary for us to have an accurate picture of the entire MRC network, as well as its strengths and weaknesses.

You may change/update your unit information as often as you would like. However, we request that you update it at least once every 3 months. After making any corrections, simply click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page. This will save your updates and post them to the MRC Web site for all to reference. Be aware that users are logged out after 20 minutes of inactivity on the Member Resources Site. You may want to submit your updated unit information periodically to ensure that it is saved.

Note that only the MRC Program Office staff and you can see the emergency contact and activation process information. This will not be shared with other users of the MRC Web site. If you have any technical issues with this feature, please e-mail the Webmaster (MRCWebmaster@z-techcorp.com). For all other questions, contact the MRC Program Office (301) 443-4951, MRCcontact@hhs.gov.
