3/23/14 - The Livingston County Department of Public Health is looking for residents with medical training to become part of its emergency response team. The department is aiming to increase the size of its Public Heath Volunteer Response Team, which consists of 300 medically-trained professionals who are willing and able to help the community in case of major emergencies. Volunteers participate in emergency preparedness training and exercises to be ready for such a scenario. Local nurses, pharmacists, and individuals with a background in public health are being asked to volunteer for the program. New volunteer orientation for those who register will be held at the Department of Public Health offices in Howell from 10:00 to 11:30 Wednesday morning to provide further details about the team and local emergency preparedness activities and plans.
