NORTH CASTLE CITIZEN CORPS COUNCIL (NC4)
After 9/11, communities across this nation understood that emergency preparedness would be important for the safety of its citizens. The Town of North Castle created the North Castle Citizen Corps Council, also known as NC4, a volunteer organization that would participate in the Town’s Emergency Preparedness Plan.
The NC4 now has over 100 volunteers from our community. Volunteers, trained in emergency preparedness and shelter operations by the Red Cross, have opened and operated warming centers/shelters in Town when there has been a need. Additionally, NC4 volunteers participate in awareness and education programs to assist all residents in becoming prepared to protect their families in case of an emergency. For more information, please contact Jane Cahn at Cahnj14979@aol.com or the NC4’s website at www.nc-ccc.org.
