How are Philadelphia MRC volunteers notified?
The MRC Volunteer Alert Network is a system used to send notifications and emergency alerts to volunteers. This system can send e-mail and text messages to registered users. The Philadelphia MRC uses the alert network system to periodically maintain contact with volunteers, to communicate about training opportunities and to share the quarterly newsletter, “The MRC Minute.” During an emergency, the Philadelphia MRC will send an alert to volunteers asking them if they can respond and telling them when and where to report. Registered members may log on to the MRC Volunteer Alert Network at https://mrcalert.phila.gov. Also, new volunteers may enroll in the Philadelphia MRC at https://mrcalert.phila.gov (click on the “new volunteer” button).
