Investing in new hampshire's MRC volunteers - the state of new hampshire, through the new hampshire department of health and human services (NH dhhs), recognizes the value and contributions of the medical reserve corps (MRC) volunteers to increase community resilience to all-hazard incidents. NH dhhs seeks to increase MRC volunteer recruitment and retention efforts by providing volunteer liability protection and medical screening for N95 fit testing, and the development and implementation of a robust training and exercise cycle at no cost to the volunteers. Establishing an online training repertoire is key to expanding access to training and will focus on point of dispensing (POD) operations, volunteer recruitment and retention, NH immunization information system (NH IIS), and crisis communication. In-person trainings and exercises focus on CPR/first aid/AED and stop the bleed certifications, credentialing CPR/first aid/AED and stop the bleed instructors, neighborhood emergency help centers (nehc) practices, survivor and family assistance center (sfac) operations, and disaster shelter operations. NH dhhs intends to competitively procure a contractor to develop educational materials, job aids, and online videos for publication.
