Get emergency alerts

Latah County sends evacuation and emergency notices only to people who register. It takes two minutes.

What we do

Free CERT basic training covers disaster preparedness, fire safety, light search and rescue, first aid, and team organization.

When professionals are stretched thin, trained volunteers help neighbors, support shelters, and share accurate information.

We bring preparedness talks to schools, churches, businesses, and neighborhoods across the county.
