Community Emergency Response Team
CERT is a national organization, funded primarily by FEMA, and dedicated to training citizens to aid in times of crisis. The CERT committee sponsors and delivers following course:
Emergency Preparedness Training for Citizens
"What to do before, during, and after a disaster!"
The two evening training course is sponsored by the College Park Community Emergency Response Team. During the first night, citizens will be trained in what they can do before a disaster to prepare themselves, their homes, and their families; and what a citizen can expect during a disaster and how a citizen can respond to the needs of their families and neighbors after a disaster. The second night of the training will be emergency first aid. The focus of the training will be on hurricanes; the course will also review tornadoes, wild fires, terrorism and chemical emergencies.
The next class will be held at the College Park Community Center from 7 PM to 9 PM
