In response to the recent tornadoes in Southern Illinois on February 29th and March 23rd, 2012, the Jefferson County Health Department is developing a Volunteer Corps.
The Jefferson County Health Department and volunteers will be called on in the event of a terrorist, biological, pandemic event or natural disaster.
Volunteers will be trained in a specific position they will hold in the event of any of these emergencies. They will also be trained on the procedures and precautions that must be followed.
Spontaneous volunteers will not be allowed to help, so we encourage everyone who is interested to contact Mark Stevens, JCHD Administrator at 618-244-7134 ext. 13 or email VolunteerJeffersonCounty@gmail.com to become one of the many volunteers we need and depend upon. Thank you for helping your community!
