Volunteer Programs
Monroe Emergency Reserve Corps
Monroe County Emergency Management believes that “strengthening the Florida Keys communities through volunteerism and service” is not just a mission statement. It is a way of life.
Following lessons learned from Hurricane Irma, Monroe County Emergency Management now is creating a “Monroe Emergency Reserve Corps” that will be made up of volunteers with a variety of talents and skills who would like to help in time of emergency in the Keys.
An inaugural meeting of this new emergency volunteer program was held on May 21, 2018 and led by Monroe County Emergency Management Director Marty Senterfitt. About 70 people attended the open discussion on how to best utilize the incredible untapped talents of the Keys residents and build a response capability that surpasses all expectations.
Citizen volunteers who go through Monroe County’s Version of FEMA'S Community Emergency Response Training and the 2 additional steps will obtain early re-entry placard and then can become part of the volunteer Monroe Emergency Reserve Corps. MERC
