WANT TO JOIN THE SHELTER UNIT TASK FORCE?
Our MRC unit was one of the few units selected to receive extra funding from NACCHO (the National Association of County and City Health Officials). This funding will be used to create a Shelter Unit Task Force comprised of individuals fully equipped and trained in psychological first aid and medical first aid. The Shelter Unit Task Force will be made up of three teams: the Psychological First Aid Team, the Medical First Aid Team, and the Resource/Inventory Team. Members of the Shelter Unit Task Force will be available to deploy when emergency shelters in the county are opened. If you would like to be a part of the Shelter Unit Task Force, please e-mail cculver@mchd-tx.org with your interest.
