Local Disaster Prep Org Offering Two Upcoming Classes

Washington Threats & Hazards 

Editor's note: I'm a CERT member (former instructor), HAM operator, and former Mountain Rescue member. I highly suggest you consider becoming more disaster-prepared. It's not "if" but "when" some basic knowledge will benefit you greatly. 

The Northshore Emergency Management Coalition (NEMCo) is thrilled to offer two valuable training opportunities for the community this spring:

1. Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training. When: May 3rd, 4th, and May 10th. A comprehensive three-day course. Learn critical emergency preparedness skills, including Fire Safety, Basic First Aid, Disaster Medical Operations, Light Search & Rescue, Utility Management, and more. This hands-on training equips you to protect yourself, your family, and your neighbors while building stronger community connections.

2. Amateur Radio (Ham) License Course. When: April 19 th and 26th. Dive into the fascinating world of amateur radio and earn your ham license! This course is perfect for anyone interested in becoming a licensed operator and enhancing communication skills in emergencies.

Both programs are fantastic opportunities to gain practical knowledge, develop essential skills, and connect with others who share your passion for emergency preparedness. Let's work together to make our Northshore community more resilient and ready for anything!
