| About Citizen Corps |
The Santa Rosa County Citizen Corps Council (SRC CCC)is comprised of the Santa Rosa County MRC Director, a CERT representative, Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) representative, EMS representative, Help Thy Neighbors Director, VIP coordinator, Sheriff Office representative, a military representative, and a local citizen along with the Citizen Corps Coordinator. The Goal of the SRC CCC is to promote a desire for volunteering around our County. We have several strong neighborhood watch groups in the County, a very robust CERT program, a VIP program in Gulf Breeze, a growing MRC, and lots of great interagency cooperation between all SRC CCC members, and we have plans to grow. One of our future goals is to develop and implement a "teen CERT" program in the counties high schools. The ultimate goal is to have a beeter trained and more aware citizenry as these students graduate. Additionally we hope to promote and foster an attitude of volunteerism in our youth. Lastly we hope that this program promotes good citizenship and behavior through discipline and self motivated achievment. Help Thy Neighbors is a partner to the regular Citizen Corps programs advertised nationally. They promote volunteerism and work jointly with other volunteer agencies in preparing the County and its citizens for any disaster. Most recently Help Thy Neighbor has been involved with establishing Volunteer Reception Center training and exercises.
