Triage training for MRC, CERT and any one else interested
In a major disaster, the first few minutes matter most. START triage — Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment — is the system used by emergency responders to quickly assess victims and prioritize care when resources are stretched thin. It's a skill every prepared community member can learn.
This training is open to everyone — no medical background required. Whether you're an MRC member, CERT graduate, or simply someone who wants to be more prepared, this is for you. The more community members who know this skill, the stronger our response will be.
No need to pre-register.
This event will be held at the Fire Station on March 9th from 6:00pm-8:00pm

Tsunami 101 Roadshow
Everything You Need to Know About Earthquakes and Tsunamis
TSUNAMI 101 Roadshow
Get ready for an evening packed with life-saving information! Experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Oregon Department of Emergency Management, and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries are coming to our community to share what you need to know before, during, and after a major emergency.
You'll learn what those alerts, watches, and warnings actually mean and what to do before a disaster hits so you are as prepared as possible. You'll also get a closer look at Assembly Areas: where they are in our region, what they're designed for, and what resources will be available there.
Download the NVS Tsunami App before you come! The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries has created a free app to help you find a safe evacuation route during an earthquake and tsunami. Available for Apple and Android devices, the app gives you an at-a-glance view of whether you're in a tsunami evacuation zone — and shows your route to safety, wherever you are. Presenters will walk through the app during the session, so download it ahead of time and come ready to explore it together. Download the app here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nvs-tsunami-evacuation/id478984841
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from regional experts and come away with real tools and knowledge to protect yourself and your family. We hope to see you there!

CERT Training
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during CERT exercises, members can assist their community or workplace following an emergency event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.
Click HERE to read an article from the Tillamook Headlight Herald about how a CERT trained resource used the skills they learned becoming a CERT to help save a co-workers life. The skills you will learn can save lives.
Here’s a quote from the CERT that was at the event:
There was a medical incident at my place of work, and my coworkers and I needed to offer lifesaving assistance to a coworker. I was able to perform CPR on my coworker until help arrived and assisted with using our in-office AED. Our efforts, along with the amazing first responders and ER doctors, ended up saving our coworker and he is still a coworker today.
I am absolutely positive that my recent training with CERT assisted me in those moments. I was able to remain calm, realize that I had tools to help my coworker, and ultimately helped save his life, likely because of your training and CERT. Thank you so much for offering this program to the public. You already know it saves lives, but I wanted to let you know that it specifically helped me save a life of a father, son, and husband.
The course is FREE (you will need to pay for your own CERT kit $100.00, which we will order) and you will receive a CERT manual.
This the basic CERT class. It requires completion of the online course (approximately 12 hours, but it is at your own pace), 4 evenings of hands-on practice and a final scenario response.
This is the complete CERT training- You are signing up to attend ALL 4 of the following meetings:
April 7, 6-8 PM at Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue, 36375 N HWY 101, Nehalem, OR 97131
April 14, 6-8 PM at Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue, 36375 N HWY 101, Nehalem, OR 97131

April 29, 6-8 PM at Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue, 36375 N HWY 101, Nehalem, OR 97131

Steve Eberlein, World Class Speaker
You're Invited!

Join us for a powerful and inspiring presentation with Steve Eberlein at the Pine Grove Community House in Manzanita — just in time for Emergency Preparedness Month!
Steve brings a unique, eye-opening perspective on disaster preparedness. He and his wife Lydia were living in Sri Lanka in 2004 when a massive 9.1 subduction zone earthquake off the coast of Indonesia triggered a devastating tsunami. As aid workers, they witnessed firsthand one of the largest international relief efforts in history — an experience that deeply shaped their lives.
After returning home to Oregon in 2006, Steve learned that the Pacific Northwest faces similar seismic risks. Since then, he's dedicated his life to raising awareness and helping communities get ready. His work includes:
10 years with the American Red Cross
Over 200 earthquake preparedness presentations
A featured talk at TEDx Portland, the largest TEDx event in the country (watch here)
Free & open to the community — don’t miss it!
