Simply put, NO. All who attend must live in the Kendall, Maple Falls, Glacier or Welcome area. We encourage those outside of our BERT service area to start their own emergency preparedness group in their own city. However, we do invite outside experts in emergency protocols to advise us at our meetings, along with other entities we partner with.
