You Are The Help Until Help Arrives
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.

WELCOME TO SHERIDAN, INDIANA
The northwest corner, gateway into Hamilton County, is a treasure chest of heritage and culture, much symbolized by Boxley Cabin. The entire Sheridan community stretches south from this storied national landmark — a
log cabin that once gave safe harbor for westward bound pioneers. It now stands to gift this charming town of 3,000
with a sense of place and distinct mission.
