Citizen Corps was created to help coordinate volunteer activities that will make our communities safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to any emergency situation.  It provides opportunities for people to participate in a range of measures to make their families, their homes, and their communities safer from the threats of crime, terrorism, and disasters of all kinds.

 Citizen Corps is an advisory council formed to act as a liason between the community and the County Emergency Management. The members recommend policy and procedure for active citizen corps programs within the County including County Emergency Response Teams (CERT).
