SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Citizen 

Corps was launched as a Presidential 

Initiative, Executive Order 13254, in 

2002 with a mission to harness the 

power of every individual through 

education, training, and volunteer 

service to make communities safer, 

stronger, and better prepared for the 

threats of terrorism, crime, public health 

issues, and disasters of all kinds. In 

order to fulfill its mission, the Federal 

Emergency Management Agency 

(FEMA) Community Preparedness 

Division (CPD) seeks to establish a 

network of State, local, and Tribal 

Citizen Corps Councils that will 

coordinate activities, including 

Community Emergency Response 

Teams, at these levels. The Citizen 

Corps Council Registration Form will 

allow FEMA and State personnel to 

ensure that prospective Councils/CERTs 

have the support of the appropriate 

government officials in their area, 

ensure a dedicated coordinator is 

assigned to the Council, and will 

provide an efficient way to track the 

effectiveness of the nationwide network 

of Councils and CERTs. This revised 

registration process will allow the 

Community Preparedness Division to 

collect information that is more usable 

and provide a more efficient way to 

track the effectiveness of the nationwide 

network of Councils and CERTs and 

make it easier for Councils to register or 

update information.

The revised registration process will 

allow for the collection of more valuable
