Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue is always looking for ways to improve the services we provide to our communities. We are excited to offer Community Connect, a new program that allows us to protect our residents and their property in even more effective ways. It is a free, secure, and easy way for our communities to provide critical information about their households to our first responders. By providing information about you or your residence that you feel is important for our emergency response personnel to know about in the unfortunate event that there is an emergency, we can ensure you and everything you care about can be better protected.

Agency, we are here to ensure we do whatever it takes to protect you and your family. However, there are many valuable pieces of critical information that can help save lives and property that we don’t know until we arrive. Things like how many occupants to expect at your home, whether anyone has access or functional needs or speaks another language, if you have any livestock, where the bedrooms are located, or even where hazardous materials may be found.

But now, with Community Connect, you have the power to keep us informed of nearly everything that matters so we can better serve you in an emergency. Community Connect is a safe and secure online program available at no cost to all residents. It allows you to provide us with critical property information that we can access during a response.

What are some examples of the kind of information you can contribute? You can provide details about:

Family members who live at your residence.

Where your family members are located.

Features of your home, such as a pool.

Utilities like water and electricity.

Functional mobility needs, including Alzheimer’s, autism, severe visual impairments, and pets.

No matter what happens, your family members' needs are known. Signing up is easy from any internet-enabled device using your phone number or email address. Rest assured, all of your data is safe and available for our responders during an emergency. If you have five minutes, please select your profile and get started helping your first responders help you.

What kinds of information can I provide?

Any information you provide through Community Connect is completely voluntary and based on what you are comfortable sharing. We have made it easy for you to know what may be important by organizing your secure portal into buckets of information you can enter.
