Upcoming Training: Stop the Bleed
A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes. Would you know what to do?
Salem CERT is proud to host a Stop the Bleed class. This hands-on training is designed for the general public and requires no prior medical experience. You will learn the three essential techniques to help save a life before professional first responders arrive on the scene.

Salem CERT HAM Net
Do you have a ham radio license? Whether you're a member ofthe Salem CERT, another CERT team, or not a CERT member at all, we invite you to join our monthly radio check-in! This is a great chance to practice your radio skills and connect with other operators.
The next check-in is scheduled for the First Sunday of each month, at 4:30 PM. We will be operating on the frequency of 146.580 Mhz (simplex).
A Net Control Operator will be running the session, so please remember to wait for instructions before transmitting. This helps to ensure a smooth and orderly check-in for everyone.
While not required, it is hoped that many of the check-ins will take place from your assigned cache, using the ham radio in the cache when possible.
We look forward to hearing you on the air!
