INC NEWS - Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)

[David Harris]

Hi
Please share with your groups, friends, churches, neighborhoods, communities, employers, co-workers, etc. 
 
We need more citizens trained for CERT. The explanation of CERT is below.
Durham has been slated as an evacuee shelter city for the southern and eastern areas.  
Please volunteer to be a member on a CERT team in your community.    
 
Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)
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.
Additional information can be found on the web site below https://www.citizencorps.gov/cert/ .
