​

Clinton County Emergency Management Agency relies on community volunteers to help strengthen preparedness, support response operations, and assist with recovery activities when emergencies occur. Volunteers play a critical role in helping the county prepare for and manage incidents ranging from severe weather and power outages to large-scale community events and disaster response.

 

Rather than assigning volunteers to permanent teams, Clinton County EMA maintains a general volunteer pool. This approach allows us to better match individual skills, interests, and availability with specific needs as they arise. Volunteers may support a wide range of activities including preparedness outreach, logistics and administrative support, planning assistance, exercises, and emergency response functions.

​

By joining the volunteer pool, you are not committing to every activation. You will be contacted when opportunities align with your interests, training, and availability. Orientation and training opportunities will be offered as appropriate.
