Event Details

Introduction to Getting Prepared: Five Easy Steps

Join us as members of the Community Emergency Response Team give a presentation on being Disaster Ready.  This presentation, which uses the "Disaster Ready Guide" gives an overview of 5 simple steps everyone can take right now to be prepared.  (12+)

Local government prepares for everyday emergencies. However, during a disaster, the number and scope of incidents can overwhelm conventional emergency services. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is an all-risk, all-hazard training. This valuable course is designed to help you protect yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your neighborhood in an emergency situation.

CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens may initially be on their own and their actions can make a difference. While people will respond to others in need without the training, one goal of the CERT program is to help them do so effectively and efficiently without placing themselves in unnecessary danger.
