The Shoreline Fire Department is committed to the safety of and well-being of our communities, and as first responders, we know firsthand the importance of disaster preparedness. While we proudly offer emergency services under normal circumstances, it is crucial to address the possibility of overwhelming 911 resources during a natural disaster.

To proactively empower our citizens, we invite you to attend a free Disaster Preparedness Class. This informative session aims to equip you with the necessary information and skills to be self-sufficient for up to 72 hours following a disaster.
