A CERT Request....

Sometimes what we can do for you is the best thing you can do for us.

The Longview Hills CERT (Community Emergency Response Team). The CERT team is continuously evolving their training every week on Wednesday at the clubhouse training sessions. No other team in Lincoln County trains every week, just ours.

We are dedicated to helping you and now we can ask you to help the CERT Team. We have been working on cutting wasted time wherever we find it. Time is critical in rescue work. Minutes gained mean lives saved.

To save time and direct teams to the exact locations they need to be we are using lot numbers (your mail box number). While addresses in the park can be confusing and streets that houses have their addresses on is certainly confusing, your lot number is unique to your location. Nobody else has the same number.

To help us we ask that you allow a CERT team member to place your lot number on your front yard, globe light, post. The numbers are small and will go directly on the post. They will be placed with care and not be obtrusive. The numbers are white vinyl and are reflective. We are doing this as a free service to our community.

We know the light post is your property and we would not dream of just doing this without permission. So, we will only put your lot number on your post if you sign up for it on the clubhouse bulletin board.

Want to see what it will look like before you decide? Ron & Jacky Thomas and Ben Davi on Windmill dr. have the new numbers on their posts.
