(Redirected from SEWICC)
Southeast Wisconsin Citizen Corps (SEWICC) consists of volunteer programs such as CERT (Community Emergency Response Training), VIPS (Volunteers In Police Service), MRC (Medical Reserve Corps), WisTAP (Wisconsin Terrorism Awareness Program), Fire Corps, Neighborhood Watch, and SERT (School Emergency Response Training).
These programs work in conjunction with each other to provide community-based disaster readiness training and awareness as well as personal empowerment and the tools citizens need to keep themselves and their families safe in the event of an emergency or disaster. They are funded by the office of Justice Assistance, administered by the Wisconsin Citizen Corps Council, and in partnership with Racine and Kenosha Counties Emergency Management.
If you are interested in volunteering with any of these programs or are interested in training, please feel free to contact Cathy LaFaive-Markstrom at the Volunteer Center of Racine County at 262-886-9612 or cmarkstrom@volunteercenterofracine.org
