I try to cover the whole spectrum of what is happening in where I live and where I work. This CERT training is very important because it not only helps you be prepared but also your neighbors and friends. In a disaster or emergency we all have to work as a team and this training is essential to that goal.
Emergency Preparedness Training Opportunity on Harstine Island
Friday, August 18,2017.
A 20 hour CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training certification course will be held at the Harstine Island Community Hall (3371 E Harstine Island Rd N).
Training will be on two consecutive weekends:
Friday August 18th (6-8pm)
Saturday August 19th (8am-5pm)
Friday August 25th (6-8pm)
Saturday August 26th (8am-5pm)
This opportunity to train with your neighbors here on our island doesn’t come around very often! We hope you will consider making time to join all or most of the course.
CERT is a national curriculum that prepares volunteers to respond to and cope with the aftermath of a disaster. The training includes classroom and skill building curriculum in nine modules:
Emergency Preparedness
Fire Suppression and Utility Control
Incident Command System
Light Search and Rescue
Disaster Medical Response
Disaster Psychology
Terrorism Awareness
We believe there is a role for everyone in a disaster, from record keeping to rescue, so join us as we plan what will be needed here on our island.
Registration forms are available at the Hartstene Pointe clubhouse on the Emergency Preparedness bulletin board or via email from Nancy Scarola at nscarola@mindspring.com.
