About Us
South Tillamook County’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) has had a very productive year. Operating under the authority of the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District (NRFPD), CERT is a volunteer organization trained in disaster preparedness to support NRFPD operations. There are currently 20 active CERT members in South Tillamook County. Over the past year, we have conducted two CERT Academies with instruction provided by the NRFPD. These sessions covered disaster preparedness, fire safety, CPR and First Aid, traffic and crowd control, and Search and Rescue drills. Our volunteers also provided traffic control during the Dory
Days and Clover’s Day parades and shared emergency planning information at several community events. Most recently, CERT was activated by the NRFPD to support potential flooding efforts during a storm.
In the new year we will continue to advance our First Aid and Search and Rescue skills and participate in several of the upcoming NRFPD drills including Fire Fighter Rehab, rope rescue training and drone training. We meet for training and drills with
the NRFPD on the third Tuesday of every month at 6 PM at the Hebo Fire Station. All are welcome to attend. For additional information you can contact CERT at rlw2310@gmail.com.
