Will I have the opportunity to volunteer for Medical Reserve Corps response efforts outside of the local area?
The primary responsibility of the Washoe County MRC is to respond to local incidents. In the event of a regional or national incident, if a request is made for assistance from our units, members may be deployed elsewhere only when they are not needed locally.
