Citizen Corps Council

The Talbot County Citizens Corps Council works closely with the Local Emergency Planning Committee. The Council meets following each of the LEPC meetings and is attended by various representatives from Talbot County who desire to promote volunteerism.

Citizen Corps is FEMA's grassroots strategy to bring together government and community leaders to involve citizens in all-hazards emergency preparedness and resilience.

Talbot County’s Citizen Corps Council asks you to support our local disaster emergency responders by volunteering and training with our partner and affiliate organizations such as our Volunteer Fire Departments, Red Cross, Civil Air Patrol, Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES), as well consider to be trained to be self sufficient in a disaster by taking a CERT Class.
