| Profile: |
The Hatch Valley High School Jr. Medical Reserve Corps is being developed as a pilot project for implementing Jr. MRC units across the state of New Mexico. The purpose of the HVHS Jr. MRC is to educate and prepare young adults in the Hatch Valley area to be productive members of the local emergency response team, educate their peers and the community at large in how to prepare for emergencies, and act as a model for other possible Jr. MRC units in NM. This unit will partner with the Alamogordo High School Jr. MRC, , local emergency management members, and other county agencies to ensure comprehensive preparation for students who will become an integral part of the community disaster response team. All members of the present Health Science Technology program will be active members of the unit. Members will be certified in CPR, First Aid and CERT. A classroom curriculum is being developed for the Health Science Technology I course that will include disaster management and preparedness training. This first year curriculum will be the foundation of the HVHS Jr. MRC program. We believe that high school students will be able to affect and train members of the community that are not readily accessible to or willing to participate with other emergency preparedness teams. The HVHS will be part of the HST School Resiliancy Pilot Project.
