Volunteer

To meet the varying needs of both volunteers and local public health and emergency response agencies, the Tarrant County Medical Reserve Corps (TCMRC) offers two levels of participation. Volunteers can select the level that best meets their interests and availability:

Division 1 — Volunteers who are available and willing to attend additional role-specific emergency response training that will equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to staff leadership positions during activation.
Division 2 —Volunteers receive basic emergency response training and will be assigned non-supervisory roles during activation.
