About Us
As you know, disasters know no boundaries. In an effort
to help everyone get closer connected, the Clermont County Citizen Corps
provides this web site for the purpose of providing a common networking
channel for Tristate disaster volunteer organizations. We provide two
basic functions:
1. To help announce your organization's drills, exercises,
training and meetings we produce
an e-newsletter in the form of an email sent to the point contact
for your organization. There is a downloadable hardcopy (PDF format) in
the newsletter section on this web site. You can decide to whom you wish to distribute the
DVN Newsletter, your membership , others, etc. Re-distribution is solely up to you.
At this time, we will not
be hosting an email sign-up for the general public, although the public
is welcome to view and receive the newsletter.
2. Secondly, we maintain an
online directory of volunteer organizations involved with disaster
preparation or disaster response.
We encourage the sharing and networking of preparedness
and response information among the groups and the public. Specifically,
we want to support an effort to give the volunteer groups
more exposure to each other and to the general disaster response
professionals.
We are not
seeking organizations that are imbedded inside a fire department or
police department. If some of those department members have an outside
volunteer group, then, of course, we very much want to contact them.
We want to concentrate on the less known groups.
We are
funded by the Clermont County Citizen Corps Council.
