Registered Emergency Workers

Our Volunteer Program is comprised of two levels, once you have completed CERT or have a HAM License. Level 1 volunteers may participate in general emergency management volunteer activities that are appropriate for the corresponding level of training, such as supporting outreach events, situational awareness at Parades, or light response activities as needed. Level 2 volunteers can participate in Level 1 activities and may also provide EOC (Emergency Operations Center) support during emergency activations or exercises.
