Southeast Wisconsin Citizens and Org Active in Disasters Inc

The Southeast Wisconsin Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) engages the skills of practicing and retired healthcare professionals in support of disaster response, community wellness and public health preparedness outreach.  Volunteers in the MRC are prepared to serve their communities when their skills are needed most.  The MRC is comprised of three teams:  Mass Casualty/Medical Surge, Public Health Surge and Community Sheltering.
Medical professionals in all disciplines are welcome to the SE WI MRC including:  doctors, dentists, veterinarians, veterinary technicians, certified nursing assistants, mental health counselors, social workers, patient advocates and medical examiners and staff.  Volunteers receive extensive training within their teams to prepare them for service and also participate in numerous community outreach events.

The Tri-County Long Term Recovery Committee (LTRC) serves residents in Milwaukee, Ozaukee and Waukesha counties by providing resources to address their long-term unmet needs. COAD’s Community Recovery Fund provides resources for long-term recovery projects and case managers to assist residents with the recovery process. The LTRC Review Board accepts and reviews cases of unmet needs, distributing available donated goods, volunteer labor and financial assistance to qualified residents.
 
The LTRC Review Board is comprised of individuals from other non-profit service agencies in the region. These volunteers work closely with case managers to determine the best and most fiscally responsible way to address the unmet needs of residents. The LTRC strongly supports mitigation projects and works to educate residents on how to prepare themselves for future disasters.
