We continually work to protect your health and safety during emergencies and disasters.
We do this by detecting and investigating disease outbreaks, and containing their spread; providing medicine to those in need; informing and educating the public on taking safe actions; and supporting other agencies as members of one response team.
Are you interested in responding to the current COVID-19 crisis? Visit our Grays Harbor Public Health Volunteer Opportunities page for more information and our volunteer form.
The Grays Harbor Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a group of volunteers. They prepare for and respond to public health emergencies in our community.
If you are interested in other volunteer opportunities, please visit Grays Harbor County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) or American Red Cross.
MRC members work together as a team.
MRC members prepare people to take care of themselves and their families.
