Free C.E.R.T. training coming in June

When widespread disaster strikes, emergency agencies will likely be overwhelmed. People will have to rely on each other for hours or even days. Under these conditions, experience shows that family members, neighbors, and co-workers will try to help. Following the 1985 Mexico City Earthquake, untrained spontaneous volunteers saved 800 people. In the chaos, 100 rescuers lost their lives. Training can prevent such a tragedy.

This class will provide essential life-saving functions while waiting for the professional responder to arrive. Each class is approximately 24 contact hours and is spread over a 3-week period. The first class will be from 7pm to 10pm, June 11 at the Montrose Senior Citizens building. Students will decide the times for the rest of the class sessions.
