Abstract: Medical Reserve Corps units are currently located in

almost 1,000 communities across the United States, and represent a

resource of more than 205,000 volunteers. In order to continue

supporting the MRC units in communities across the United States, and

to continue planning for future emergencies that are national in scope,

detailed information about the MRC units, including unit demographics,

contact information (regular and emergency), volunteer numbers, and

information about activities is needed by the Division of Civilian

Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps (DCVMRC). MRC Unit Leaders are asked to

update this information on the MRC Web site at least quarterly, and to

participate in a Technical Assistance Assessment at least annually. The

MRC unit data collected has expanded to include a self-assessment tool

for use by unit leaders to aid in developing their MRC unit. This OMB

revision request is for 3 years.
