Mission Statement
Our trained Community Emergency Response Team are all incredible volunteers and wear many hats. They play a vital role in supporting our community in all kinds of emergencies, saving lives and ready to respond to medical emergencies, fires and major disasters. We are recognized by FEMA and by CAL Office of Emergency Services. We are chartered by the Cloverdale and Northern Sonoma County Fire Protection Districts. Our role is to support the community during emergencies and disasters before first responders arrive and to support our first responders in their response.
