The RI MRC began in 2003 as a way to recruit and organize medical health professionals and allied personnel to assist the State and local jurisdictions in preparing for and in training for public health and disaster emergencies. 

The RI MRC currently has over 1000 registered health volunteers who are called upon to assist in public health and emergency situations and trainings throughout Rhode Island. 

The RI MRC works hand in hand with the RI Disaster Medical Assistance Team, The RI Department of Health, the RI Emergency Management Agency and local Emergency Management Agencies to provide Physician Level care to the citizens of Rhode Island at mass gathering events, public health exercises and public health emergencies. 

The RI MRC and its members have become an integral part of the State's preparedness plan and strive to meet the needs of its members and the community by offering emergency training and response exercises on a regular basis. 

As a member of RI MRC you will have an important role in Making Readiness a Commitment!
