To lessen the impact of disasters on our Hillsboro community through preparedness and training.

Emergency Response Guidebook options

We have introduced the ERG in CERT training.

Below are a few different ways you can get a version of it.

you can download the pdf at http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/staticfiles/PHMSA/DownloadableFiles/Files/erg20...

There is an app you can purchase at http://everydayemstips.com/emergency-response-guide-apps/ or other sources

you can also order an actual book from a variety of sources. Google Shopping is a great source to find one.

What ever form you choose it is a good resource to have.

If you have other options feel free to post them in the comments.

Map Your Neighborhood

As you work within your neighborhood or workplace I want to remind you about the Map Your Neighborhood program. This is a program that helps organize your neighborhood and develop the relationships needed in times of disaster.

The program lasts an hour to an hour and a half. It can be held in an individual home, community clubhouse, church, business, or even at the fire station.

I have the materials and will lead a discussion for your group to get to know your neighbors and surroundings better.
