Mission: The city of Hillsboro provides you with quality emergency fire and medical services. In the wake of a disaster, however, they may be unavailable due to debris and road damage, plus an overwhelming need for emergency response in all areas of the city. Some basic training in disaster survival and rescue skills would improve your ability to survive until assistance arrives.

The goal of the CERT program is to provide for community self-sufficiency during the first 72 hours after a disaster.

Get CERTified!
Register for CERT by contacting Mitch at 681-5266. Classes are held at the Ronler Acres Fire Station on NW 229th and Evergreen Pkwy. Children 14 years of age and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult.

Disaster Communications
CERT members are also encouraged to get their amateur radio license to assist in disaster communications. Good news - amateur radio is not just for nerds anymore! There is no Morse Code requirement for an entry-level "ham" license - just a multiple-choice test on basic electronics, FCC rules, and radio operations.
