This fall and winter we may be facing a critical shortage of trained volunteers and staff to respond to all hazard emergencies in our community and in Bristol County. We need as many as 500 additional Medical Reserve Corps volunteers to assist with mass vaccination clinics. Additionally we never know when we may be facing natural disasters such as hurricanes assaulting our coastline or ice storms as we saw this past winter in the Worcester area requiring the opening of multiple shelters. What you learn can help you and your family be better prepared to respond to emergencies. Desperately needed are more Portuguese and Spanish interpreters. We need you! Please sign up now to join and attend training.
