Central Oregon Coast CERT

CERT (Community Emergency Response Training) is scheduled to begin January 22nd at the Newport Fire Hall (the main fire station). Class will begin at 5:30pm... The first class is a general presentation of what CERT hopes to accomplish in our community with a brief history of how it came about and a slide presentation of how it works and then a discussion of how it works for you as an individual and for the community of Newport.

That class is followed by 8 weeks of training in about 2 hour sessions with the final session being a disaster simulation drill where participants get the chance to try out what they have learned.

If you have been around our community for awhile you know of the many services our local neighborhood CERT team has instituted to make our park one of the safest in the state of Oregon. We need help. We need a continuous input of new people to keep our rescue operations people young enough to get the job done. We need older folks to perform many of the tasks that don't require a lot of physical effort... So there is a place on the team for each and everyone of you. Please sign up today and be ready for the new class on January 22nd, we will be looking forward to you joining us.....
