The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training will become a regular event each Spring and Fall in our community. The training is open to any person 15 years of age or older at no cost. CERT training teaches individuals to care for themselves and their families and neighbors in a disaster. Graduates can play an active role in DEMA and be available to assist First Responders (Fire, Police, EMS) in certain situations.

The curriculum includes training in fire suppression, medical, and the care of animals in disasters and requires about 15 hours of classroom and hands-on training. Graduates receive a binder and a backpack containing emergency supplies and equipment. Please enroll by calling Tim Hildebrand at 717-502-8720.

Class size is limited!
