Supporting State and local resilience, 7 volunteers graduated from Caroline County MRC’s 1st Citizen Preparedness Training. Training supports community preparedness and ensures personnel have the tools to support future local emergency response operations. https://t.co/X23BxfRDLi

How to build a successful MRC training program that doubles the size of the unit:

✔️ Partner across agencies
✔️ Build training around community needs (CPR, Narcan, Stop the Bleed)
✔️ Focus on real-world readiness
