Wednesday, June 26th there will be a brief presentation by our local CERT director at 6:00pm in Doan Chapel right before the regular Wednesday Night Bible Study. We have formed our own team and if you are interested in learning more, please attend.
What is CERT?
The Charlotte County 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.
