Want to help your family, school, and community be prepared for any emergency or natural disaster?
The Ferndale Police Department is partnering with the Ferndale Emergency Resource Network to form a Youth Emergency Services (YES) Club for teens, ages 14-18, living in the Ferndale School District.
Youth Emergency Services Club members can earn their amateur radio license, train to be part of the Ferndale Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), learn about disaster preparedness and response, and complete FEMA courses to prepare them to volunteer in an Emergency Operations Center.
The Youth Emergency Services Club will hold its first meeting on September 30 from 10 – 11 AM in the Ferndale Emergency Operations Center at the Ferndale Police Department, 2220 Main Street.
