What is
the OWMRC?
The
Okaloosa-Walton Medical Reserve Corps (OWMRC) is an organization
of medical and non-medical volunteers
who contribute their skills and
expertise during community
emergencies, and when available, during skills-building activities
throughout the year. The OWMRC is hosted by
the Okaloosa County Health
Department (OCHD), but serves both
Okaloosa and Walton Counties.

There is
very important training to complete! Federal law requires all MRC members
to have basic training in
the Incident Command System (ICS),
along with an introduction to the
National Incident Management System
(NIMS). And, to ensure your
readiness to assist during
emergencies, the OWMRC requires all
volunteers to complete "Are You
Ready? An In-depth Guide to Citizen
Preparedness".
