Emergency Volunteers

You Can Help In Times of Disaster

During a large-scale emergency or disaster, THD will coordinate with other agencies to maximize community recovery efforts. Public health relies on a variety of professional experience to establish a prepared local community, enhance services and enrich the quality of life in Tulsa County. Equipped and trained volunteers are critical in establishing a prepared local response. THD welcomes and appreciates volunteer support at all times.

In order to ensure a clear plan of action for the utilization and mobilization of emergency volunteers, THD partners with the Oklahoma Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) to organize and prepare volunteers to assist in local emergency operations. MRC volunteers will be able to use their skills and abilities in many public health initiatives including: immunization, vaccination, education and local level emergency planning and preparedness.
