Our members are expected to participate in trainings regularly and to practice these skills frequently on their own. We often seek instructors and training from outside agencies and strive to keep current with our knowledge of advancing techniques and new equipment.
Team meeting and training is held the 2nd Thursday of each month starting at 7 p.m. at the Skamania County EOC in Stevenson, WA. Additional training is typically held the 3rd Thursday of the month.
Training is open to all those who are interested. For more information contact theTraining Officer.
We train to the Skamania County SAR Standardsfound here.
