Program Description
Event Details
In collaboration with the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), SDPL is providing free emergency preparedness classes for the community. CERT SD trains & empowers residents in disaster preparedness to help families & businesses before, during & after a disaster. This class, "Easy Steps to Preparedness: Build a Go-Bag", you will learn how to build a personalized Go-Bag to help you & your family prepare for & recover during a disaster. Disasters can happen at any time & it can be confusing to know what to take with you when you only have moments to decide. (For ages 10+)
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.
