STATE CITIZEN CORPS COUNCIL
Executive Order 2008-45 required OKOHS to establish a State Citizen Corps Council. In Oklahoma, there are a variety of groups, communities, organizations, public safety entities and individuals who are passionate Citizen Corps supporters. While there is a need to be as inclusive as possible, there is also a need for the size of the State Council to not outgrow the ability to guide Citizen Corps programmatically. OKOHS considered urban/rural, all of the partner programs, local response disciplines, volunteer organizations assisting in disasters, special needs, health/medical and representation from as many homeland security regions as possible when establishing the State Citizen Corps Council.
