During the early days of the Emergency Management Agency, volunteers from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Reserves Unit were used.  However, over time, as the need for volunteers grew, the Emergency Services Volunteers organization was formed. The main purpose of the organization, is to train volunteers to assist the McHenry County Emergency Management Agency respond to or recover from the impacts of disasters and emergency situations in McHenry County and beyond.  Check out the Our VIsion page to learn more about the various areas we support.  We are always looking for volunteers to join the team.  If you have any questions, please contact us.
