What Training Will I Receive?
In most cases, MRC volunteer training will focus on how the local emergency response system works, use of specialized equipment, familiarity with the community response plan and community resources and partners. You will also be notified when disaster drills are planned so that you may participate.

Medical professionals will already know how to perform many of the medical and health functions that will be needed during a large-scale emergency.

Opportunities for training in basic disaster response, safety, volunteer leadership and other important skills may also be available.

Training courses available to MRC volunteers include, but are not limited to:

	Overview of Public Health System
	Basic Life Support (CPR)
	Core Disaster Life Support
	Community Emergency Response Team
	Basic Disaster Life Support
	Advanced Disaster Life Support
	Hazardous Material Identification
	Emergency Preparedness Awareness
