Getting Started: Seeking Specialty Expertise

Running an MRC unit can be a highly complex endeavor. Some activities require specialized skills sets; many of which you may not have at first, but you may acquire them in time.

One option is to seek pro bono help from area experts—on legal issues, financial matters, emergency response, logistics, medical practice concerns, public health issues, volunteer relations, credentialing practices, etc. Often, people are willing to donate their time to an important cause, particularly on a one-time or short-term basis.

Do not hesitate to ask—access to expertise that you would otherwise be unable to afford can make a substantial difference in your MRC’s success. Inform your response partners and community champions of your needs so they can direct you to their network of professional resources.
