The
Marlow Citizen Corps Council will soon be scheduling a First Aid course
and a CPR course with First Aid and CPR instructor Nancy Vesco. The Marlow Citizen Corps was formed in October 2006 as an offshoot of the New Hampshire Citizen Corps. The NHCC will assist our local council by helping to create opportunities for local community members to engage in volunteer services that support emergency preparedness and responses for Marlow and its citizens. A Council was formed in October and is made up of representatives from the police and fire departments, town government and various organizations. This group has met monthly during the start up phase and it is actively seeking interested citizens who would be willing to assist the emergency personnel in the event of a community disaster. Through the hard work of the early council members a $5000 grant was acquired for technical equipment and the information from the survey sent out in January is now readily available to assist the Citizen corps if needed. In
February a number of local citizens took part in a twenty hour CERT
training. Citizen Emergency Response members have been known to be
trusted resources to emergency responders and their communities. It is
comfortable to know that we have members of our own community to provide
immediate assistance until other trained personnel can arrive at the
scene of a disaster. Ongoing
training will be offered to citizens to further advance skills that we
hope will not be needed in Marlow, but for which we must be prepared.
