About Citizen Corps
Citizen Corps is a grass-roots movement that actively involves everyone in making communities across America safer, stronger, and better prepared. We all have a role to play in keeping our hometowns safe and secure and Citizen Corps helps you to prepare, train, and volunteer.

Citizen Corps also helps promote Ready, a public service campaign that urges people to take some basic steps to prepare for potential terrorist attacks and other emergencies:
 

• Get an emergency supply kit
• Make a family communication plan
• Be informed

There are currently 55 state / territory councils and 2,318 county / local / tribal councils which serve 223, 307, 198 people or approximately 78% of the total U.S. population.
