Disaster Response: C.E.R.T. Training 3/4
What is CERT?
Community Emergency Response Team – This class will give you the necessary knowledge and skills to not only prepare yourself and your home for an emergency, such as a fire, tornado or other disasters, you will also be trained and equipped to help your neighborhood and community should a major disaster strike our area and the Fire and Police need our help and support.
Do you have a desire to be as helpful to as many as possible during a community disaster? This team may be your calling. If you would like to learn more about CERT, click here or go to www.homelandsecurity.com and type in: CERT.
