Membership

Membership is not required to be a NEMCo community volunteer. However, we do recommend obtaining a NEMCo membership as a credentialed Emergency Worker, which involves a background check and being registered as a Washington State Emergency Worker to support vital volunteer roles during events or a disaster.

​

Membership in RACES additionally requires an FCC-approved Amateur Radio License. RACES Leadership periodically offers a training course to those wishing to obtain their Technician level license. They will be announced on the Home page as they are scheduled.
