Your local health district is working with national, state, and local governments and civic agencies to develop and coordinate disaster response to a variety of different hazards, ranging from natural disasters to explosive, nuclear, biological, and chemical terrorism. Volunteers are desperately needed to provide assistance and depth to our existing response teams. The Tristate Medical Reserve Corps (TMRC) is a volunteer group that brings health professionals and others together to support local public health and emergency and medical services. The TMRC includes representatives from 3 states, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, and includes a 21 county region. For more information regarding the TMRC, contact your local health department, and ask for their TMRC representative, or contact the TMRC office at mrc@gchc.org. Upcoming Training Opportunities

How Do I Sign Up? Joining the TMRC is simple. You must first attend a 2 hour “Introduction to the TMRC” course to learn what the group’s mission is, what may be asked of volunteers, what events you may respond to, and other information. At this training, you will be photographed for an ID Card. This ID Card will be mailed to you after you have registered on the Ohio Medical Reserve Corps database.

You will receive updates regarding upcoming trainings and volunteer opportunities, and we encourage you to become as active and involved as your schedule allows. Thank you for your interest.
