How You Can Volunteer with County's Emergency Agencies

From the Anne Arundel County Office of Emergency Management:

September 11th through 17th is the National effort focusing on Preparing through Service for September’s National Preparedness Month. During disasters first responders can be overwhelmed therefore we encourage citizen’s to give back to their community by providing assistance to local fire, police, Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES), and the Anne Arundel County and Annapolis City Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).

These organizations support the County in various ways to mitigate the threats and fulfill missions that aid the County in response and recovery efforts such as traffic control, emergency communications, and shelter support.
