A discussion concerning a public health network resulted in a motion made by Carol Tubman and seconded by Chief Solomon that stated  “ To incorporate in the State of New Hampshire and seek 501c (3) status as Carroll County Public Health Network (CCPHN).”  The vote was ten in favor with one abstention.  To incorporate five officers are required.

All volunteers will be entered as well as various agencies and organizations pertinent to a wide scale emergency.  All licensed volunteers should register with New Hampshire Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteers of Healthcare Professionals (ESARVHP).  In addition, a web site will be established in concert with the database.
