Following a major disaster, police, fire and medical professionals may not be able to fully meet the demand. People will have to rely on each other to meet the immediate life saving and life sustaining needs, particularly in isolated neighborhoods that may be cut off from the main roads for a period of time. The Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) program was developed through FEMA to provide basic training in safety and life saving skills for the general public.

This training course will be presented as a series of three classes on September 4, 11, and 18 from 8 AM until 5:00 PM. You must attend all three sessions to get your certificate of completion. The course is offered free of charge.

To sign up, please e-mail: elizabeth.lopez@avhospital.org or call (661) 949-5068.
