To best prepare for a disaster, it is important to have a community plan. Whether you are a leader in your community or a community member, you can become involved.
Start with the Delaware Citizens Corps
The Delaware Citizens Corps is a grassroots movement that actively involves communities across Delaware in becoming safer, stronger and better prepared. It is an avenue to learn and interact with other members of the community regarding emergency preparedness. For more information on how to contact and volunteer with the Delaware Citizens Corps, visit the Delaware Citizen Corps website.
Get Resources and Toolkits from the Experts
