| 'From The Mountains To The Coast' |


| ( FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ) Volunteer Corps Seeks Personnel for Disaster Service currently seeking to expand it's personnel, and is offering membership to persons who are interested in serving their community and state in times of disaster.

Volunteers have the opportunity through training to work in a variety of specialty duties, including mass care and feeding, search and rescue, traffic direction, disaster response, first aid, communications, and much more. New units of the organization are being formed on an ongoing basis in all areas of North Carolina, with the concept being to have local teams of your friends and neighbors working in your own hometowns, as well as in other areas where and when help is needed. NCER teams cooperate with the Emergency Management Division of individual county governments, as well as other authorized agencies. Members will qualify for special disaster personnel identification cards and the right to wear the NCER uniform to identify them as trained professional-standard volunteers.
