Profile:
Shelby county's MRC was started 9/26/2004. We became a nationally registered unit 3/2005. As of 1/21/2010 we have 52 members. Our Corps meeets quarterly for training / informational type meetings. We are continuing to train our volunteers in NIMS. Our volunteers will be helping with our Special needs Shelter in Shelby County in the event of any type of emergency. September is Emergency Preparedness Month and we hope to recruit more volunteers at that time. We have a very active core group of volunteers within our MRC that have dedicated many hours to Prevent, Promote and Protect the health of our community!
