The purpose of the Region 6 Homeland Security Governing Board’s Citizen Corps
Committee is to embrace personal responsibility to be prepared; provide
training in first aid and emergency skills; and volunteer to support local
emergency responders, disaster relief, and community safety.
Our region currently has programs in all five areas of
the Citizen Corps movement; Volunteers in Police, Fire Corps, Neighborhood
Watch, Community Emergency Response Team, and Medical Reserve Corps.
The regional Citizen Corps coordinators have agreed on
several programs that address citizen preparedness at all levels. These include community leaders, large
and small businesses, their families, children, pets, neighbors and
neighborhoods. The plans include
important language customized for cultural, ethnic, and age-related income
groups. The committee feels that all
have a role in hometown security.
