Citizen Corps of St. Clair County

Uniting Communities - Preparing the Nation

Citizen Corps Mission: To have everyone participate in making America safer, stronger, and better prepared for preventing and handling threats of natural disasters, terrorism, crime, public health issues, and disasters of all kinds.

As a high-risk community, it is essential that our level of preparedness also remains at a high level in St. Clair County. To help meet this challenge, the St. Clair County Board of Commissioners appointed a Citizen Corps council for our county. Every citizen can participate through:

• Personal Responsibility - Having disaster plans and disaster supply kits for you and your family. Understanding crime prevention and reporting. Taking care of your neighbors.

• Training - Participate in training opportunities Citizen Corps offers. Learn the biggest threats in St. Clair County and how to prepare for them. Learn how to perform basic first aid procedures for yourself and others.

• Volunteering Service - Support police, fire, EMS, and other first responders of our community. Support the Citizen Corps Council in spreading its mission
