Would you like to take the CERT training course right here in Westside Village ?
In order for the Fire Department to present this FREE training, we need a minimum enrollment of 20 people and a place to hold the classes. St. John’s Presbyterian Church at Military and National has generously offered the use of their community room on Thursday evenings. As soon as we have enough confirmed attendees, we can contact the Fire Department and schedule the training.
CERT training is open to everyone, including those who took the course previously and want to refresh their disaster preparedness skills.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) course is designed to help you protect yourself, your family, your neighbors and your neighborhood in an emergency situation.
You will learn to:
•manage utilities and put out small fires,
•treat the three medical killers by opening airways, controlling bleeding, and treating for shock,
•provide basic medical aid,
•search for and rescue victims safely,
•organize themselves and spontaneous volunteers to be effective,
•and collect disaster intelligence to support first responder efforts.
The training consists of 7 weekly 2-1/2 hour evening classes. If you miss a class, you can go to any other location to make it up. For more information see www.cert-la.com.
Having the CERT training, just like having car insurance, means you're as ready as you can be to help yourself, your family and your neighborhood.
You can get your emergency supplies at 75% off at the SOS parking lot sale this weekend!
