Am I obligated to respond to call outs if I join the Napa Medical Reserve Corps unit or become a Medical Volunteer?

You always have the option of declining any training or deployment opportunities offered. Trainings and deployment opportunities hosted by Napa County are open to all volunteers (some may have prerequisites), and you can sign up for those opportunities that are of interest to you. Members can also indicate in their profile their response/deployment preferences to allow us to better match you to opportunities. For more questions regarding responding, contact us at 707-253-4199.
