Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)

CERT training is right around the corner!  Class begins on either the 11th and/or 12th of October.  I'm doing the Riverton class on Wednesdays because it works for my schedule, so anyone who wants to carpool with me.  I can fit 7 people in my car, just let me know if you want to join me.  Herriman's classes are on 3 Tuesdays.  The final class for both cities is the morning of Saturday, October 29th.  Rumor has it, January will have a class specific for parents who are home during the day with small children.  Stay tuned if that appeals to you.

New Herriman Fire Station classes:

• Tuesdays October 11, 18, 25 (6:30-9:30 p.m.) 
• Saturday Oct 29th 9-noon

Riverton City Hall classes:

• Wednesdays October 12, 19, 26 (6:30-9:30 p.m.)
• Saturday Oct 29th 9-noon

Cost: $30 upfront, reimbursed by city at completion
Perks: Free backpack, learn life-saving knowledge and skills, get to know neighbors!
 

Note: You can go to a combination of Herriman and Riverton classes if your schedule needs the flexibility.  You must finish the online training before the first class (link found in registration).

Remember to do the required online training modules before class #1.  CERT training will strengthen our understanding and response to the immediate needs of those injured or otherwise affected by a disaster.  It will make you invaluable to your community and loved ones if the time ever comes where your expertise is called for to save a life or relieve suffering.

My dream is that at least 2/3 of the residents in our area are CERT trained in the next two years, by December 2013.  Will you help that become a reality?  I bet we could get the firefighters to do the training at the local church house if we get enough committed attendees.  Leave a comment if you would be interested in something like that. Live fear-free by being prepared by CERT!
