	HARRIS COUNTY CITIZENS CORPS COUNCIL The Harris County Citizen Corps Council coordinates with volunteer groups such as the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the United Way, and Citizen Corps programs to identify preparedness training and volunteer opportunities. The Citizen Corps programs include the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), the USA on Watch/Neighborhood Watch Program, Volunteers in Police Service, Fire Corps and the Medical Reserve Corps.
	AMERICAN RED CROSS – GREATER HOUSTON The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors—across the street, across the country, and across the world—in emergencies. Each year, in communities large and small, victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to neighbors familiar and new—the more than half a million volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross.
	UNITED WAY United Way is a national network of more than 1,300 locally governed organizations that work to create lasting positive changes in communities and people’s lives.
	SALVATION ARMY Although The Salvation Army is an international organization with leadership vested in the General, the very nature of its work calls for considerable national, territorial, and local autonomy.
	TGCR VOAD The Texas Gulf Coast Region (TGCR) Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) coordinates planning efforts by many voluntary organizations responding to disaster. Member organizations provide more effective and less duplication in service by getting together before disasters strike.
