About Emergency Prep
Learning To Save Lives
Emergency Prep was formed by Brad and Paula Neher with the vision of providing convenient, quality, low-stress instruction in CPR, First Aid and emergency response. With over 65 years of combined experience in emergency response, we have seen first hand the importance of immediate access to emergency care when illness or injury strikes.
Since opening our doors in 2008, we have helped thousands of people receive the training they needed to expand their horizons and enrich their lives.
