Medical Volunteers Wanted!

What is the Medical Volunteer Program?
The MVP of Riverside County supports the Riverside County
Emergency Response System.

The Riverside County unit is community-based and functions
to locally organize and utilize volunteers. When a public
health emergency occurs, the need for volunteers will be
tremendous. MVP will be used to supplement existing re-
sources when a disaster is of a magnitude that overwhelms
existing resources.

ALS & BLS Trailer Inventory

The Riverside County Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response (BTPR) Branch has purchased sixteen (16) trailers to serve as Mobile Basic & Advanced Life Support Caches (MALSC). The trailers, known as caches, were designed for use by trained personnel during a disaster, mass casualty incident, or other events that exceed local resources. They contain equipment and medicine to treat at minimum 100 injured or ill people. The trailers will be loaned to different public safety agencies and stored strategically throughout the County; based on large population bases and isolated areas. The Caches can also be utilized as potential resources to surrounding Counties, regions, the State, or for the Federal Government for mutual aide.
