Community Heroes is a volunteer program that recruits, trains and prepares volunteers to assist the local public health department in responding to a bioterrorist attack or other public health emergency.



YOU! Every person has a skill, talent or experience that can be invaluable to a community during times of crisis.


Experience shows that a local community must be able to sustain itself for the first 72 hours following a disaster until outside help can arrive. Trained volunteers are a critical part of this initial response.




You will primarily volunteer in your county, but may make yourself available to help neighboring counties in southwest Missouri, if you wish.



Volunteer for one day, one hour, one week -- any amount of time. Every minute you give is priceless to the person you help.


Community Heroes also provides many different opportunities during non-emergency times. You will be matched to tasks based on your skills, interests and availability.

Help your family, your friends and your community. Sign up today to become a Community Hero!
