The Citizen Corps, a vital component of USA Freedom Corps, was
created to help coordinate volunteer activities that will make our communities
safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to any emergency situation. It
provides opportunities for people to participate in a range of measures to make
their families, their homes, and their communities safer from the threats of
crime, terrorism, and disasters of all kinds.
Citizen Corps programs build on the successful efforts that are
in place in many communities around the country to prevent crime and
respond to emergencies. Programs that started through local innovation are the
foundation for Citizen Corps and this national approach to citizen participation
in community safety.
Citizen Corps is coordinated nationally by the Department of
Homeland Security. In this capacity, DHS works closely with other federal
entities, state and local governments, first responders and emergency managers,
the volunteer community, and the White House Office of the USA Freedom
Corps.
