Balch Springs Community Emergency Response Team

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.

The City of Balch Springs and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) are hosting an online public engagement opportunity for all residents, visitors, and those employed in the City of Balch Springs to provide feedback on the Hickory Tree Road Planning Study. The plan will provide recommendations for relieving roadway congestion and increasing bicycle/walking access and safety along the roadway.
Participants will watch a video presentation of the project’s activities and preliminary recommendations, review supporting illustrations, and complete a questionnaire to provide feedback about the content presented. The public engagement opportunity will be available online until late October and is hosted on the NCTCOG website.
