CITIZEN CORPS COUNCIL OF NEW YORK CITY
The NYC Citizen Corps Council is part of the national initiative to bring together local leaders from community organizations, government agencies, local elected officials’ offices, the private sector, and volunteer programs to promote community preparedness and volunteerism. The Council’s goal is to enable New Yorkers to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. NYC Citizen Corps Council also creates taskforces to prepare New York’s vulnerable populations through public education and training opportunities, outreach and volunteer programs.
