On up we go!

By Jake Gillanders | Executive Director

What an exciting year! In the past 3 months we've successfully:

Trained 22 new members in Rope Rescue and Structural Collapse Rescue;
Brought personal and community preparedness training to dozens of citizens of the PNW region;
Fostered working relationships with rescue partners throughout the United States and the world

In the coming months, we'll be continuing our push for disaster preparedness and rescuer training:

In April, our rescue command staff will be travelling to Louisiana to assist our rescue partners in preparing for the 2018 hurricane season;
In May, we'll be graduating our second class of 22 highly trained direct rescue and medical providers in the PNW region;
In June, we'll be training 14 local firefighters in technical rescue skills that would be essential after a major earthquake.

All of this is possible because of your contributions! We couldn't be more grateful. Thank you for your ongoing support!
