[StBernard] Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training Schedule

[Westley Annis]

St. Bernard Parish Community Emergency Response Team holds training

CERT educates people about disaster preparedness and response

 

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about
disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them
in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and
rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the
training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can
assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when
professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members
also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more
active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
