September is National Preparedness Month and we are fundraising this month for SCOPE USA, a small nonprofit who we collaborate with throughout the year.

We teach children and families essential preparedness skills—like how to call 911, what to do during a fire, and how to prepare for both natural and man-made hazards.

Our goal is to have 20 people donate any amount they are able to give. Each donor helps demonstrate the community’s support for preparedness education and building resilience.

Would you consider making a gift to our fundraiser? Every amount makes a difference, and contributions are tax-deductible because SCOPE USA is a 501c3 nonprofit.

Thank you so much for considering it! 💚

Our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is expanding its Disaster Preparedness Instructor Team, and we’re looking for individuals who want to share their experience, teach lifesaving skills, and make a meaningful impact in our community.

Instructor opportunities include supporting CERT Basic Training, Stop-the-Bleed Workshops, hands-only CPR training, and community preparedness events. Whether your background is as a CERT member, as an EMS, pre-med or nursing, public health, emergency management, youth education, business, or another related field, there are opportunities to put your knowledge and experience to work.

Instructor assignments are based on your training, experience, interests, availability, and program needs—you do not need to attend every training or event.

This is an opportunity to strengthen your own skills while helping others gain the confidence and knowledge to act when emergencies happen. Priority is given to those who have completed the CERT Basic Training course.
