Mission Statement
The mission of the Stanislaus County Medical Reserve Corps is to enhance the infrastructure of Stanislaus County's emergency medical response.
Description
SCMRC volunteers support existing local emergency medical health response systems by providing trained, pre-certified and readily available volunteers to help emergency responders manage a health emergency or other natural disaster. SCMRC volunteers may also augment, as individuals or in teams, medical and support staff shortages at local hospitals, medical or emergency facilities (i.e. Alternate Care Sites (ACS), Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) sites, Points of Dispensing (POD's), etc.). The SCMRC is intended to supplement existing personnel resources, as well as contribute to meeting the public health needs of the community. As SCMRC members and Disaster Service Workers the State of California provides worker's compensation benefits and liability protection for volunteers.
