What does it mean when a volunteer is considered “Active” status?
Only volunteers who are “Active” status will be called to volunteer in an emergency. To be considered active status, an MRC volunteer must: Complete an application and the interview process. Attend the required MRC Orientation, complete Community Emergency Response Team training, and complete the National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) training in Incident Command (IS-100, 200, 700 & 800). Once those initial requirements are met, you are badged and ready for deployment. In order to maintain “Active” status, volunteers must attend at least two (2) of the quarterly volunteer meetings per year, participate in the required training exercises, and contribute a minimum of 4 hours per year in a non-emergency activity. If you are currently licensed, maintain licensure or notify the MRC Coordinator if the license has expired.
