| WHY THE NCER? WHY NOT ANOTHER ORGANIZATION? Over the last several years, there have been numerous community and disaster services organizations chartering units within North Carolina. These organizations undertake various missions and make great strides at helping the citizens of North Carolina. Most of these organizations have over half of their membership listed in North Carolina, but are headquartered in places like New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. Some of these organizations actually collect their membership dues and provide no guidance at all. The North Carolina Emergency Reserves is a State Organization, headquartered within North Carolina, with leaders from North Carolina. Our members are trained in the Incident Command System (ICS) which is the State and National Standard for Emergency Services. The NCER provides additional training that the U.S. Military utilizes during emergencies, and specialized training that civilians use during emergencies. |
| OPPORTUNITY The NCER is now recruiting Statewide. We have positions available for everyone. If you would like to feel the enjoyment of helping others during their time of need, we can use your help. Our goal is to raise units throughout the State in order to minimize response times for local community emergencies. |
