Radiation Response Volunteer Corps

The Kansas Radiation Control Program is developing a registry for radiation professionals who would be willing to receive training and be included on a list of volunteers willing to perform population monitoring during incidents involving radiation. The registry is called the Radiation Response Volunteer Corps (RRVC). Volunteers would have the opportunity to receive training, participate in drills and serve as a resource in the event of a radiological incident. Click the link below for more information.
