Upcoming CERT Basic Training class in Franklin, Ky.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is a nationally supported, locally implemented initiative that teaches people how to better prepare themselves for hazards that may affect their communities. CERT trains them in basic disaster response skills such as team organization, disaster medical operations, fire safety, and light search and rescue. Local CERT programs train and organize teams of volunteers to assist their families, neighbors, co-workers, and other community members during emergencies when professional responders may not be immediately available to provide assistance. Before, during, and after disasters, CERT volunteer teams perform basic response activities, including checking in on neighbors, distributing information to the public, supporting emergency operations centers, and helping to manage traffic and crowds. The ability for CERT volunteers to perform these activities frees up professional responders to focus their efforts on more complex, essential, and critical tasks. CERT volunteers also support their communities by organizing, promoting, and participating in emergency preparedness events, activities, and projects
If you are interested in taking the basic training class, please complete the following registration. Class begins on October 6th at 6PM at the Leon and Lassie Page Center, 403 N. College St., Franklin, KY 42134. Questions can be addressed to Robert Palmer, [email protected] or 270 586 1800. If you have ever wanted to know what to do during a disaster or emergency, this is the class for you. Anyone can take this class, free of charge. There is no requirement to join a team upon completion. We need at least 10 people signed up by September 15th or the class will be cancelled. Please share this with your family, friends and neighbors.
