National City Seeks Volunteers For The 1st Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Academy
The City of National City in partnership with Southwestern College invites all residents to participate in the 1st Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Academy. This program is one of the City Council’s priorities to public safety and shows its commitment to ensure residents are safe in the event of a disaster; CERT is part of our continued efforts toward Homeland Security.
CERT is a group of people that are organized to work as a team to respond to disasters that impact their homes, businesses, and neighborhoods. The CERT program focuses on providing specialized training to organized “teams” to provide vital services within their neighborhoods or businesses, in the absence of emergency responders, whose arrival may be delayed due to the scope of the event.
The CERT Academy provides 24 hours of classroom and hands-on training for participants over a two (2) week period. The CERT Academy will take place on the following dates and times:
Tuesday, January 4, 2011 - 5:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
Thursday, January 6, 2011 - 5:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
Saturday, January 8, 2011 - 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Saturday, January 15, 2011 - 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Classes are free of charge. The CERT Academy is open to all National City residents or employees of businesses with a physical address in National City. CERT Members should be 18 years of age or older. Certificates of Completion are issued to participants at the end of the CERT Academy.
CERT is grant funded and our program will be coordinated by the National City Fire Department. The CERT Program is an official Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program.
